I had problems with text not appearing for 8-10 seconds. I usually had 2 or 3 
konsole sessions on my desktop and one would be really sluggish and the other 
wouldn't. The big problem for me was after a few hours I couldn't select 
k-menu to logoff.

I dropped back to kde-3 because I had to know if it was kde-4, x-windows, or 
my new hardware. After dropping back to kde-3 everything worked and has 
continued to work. With the exception of the kde-3 packages, which were built 
using another system that had problems with kde-4, the system was reinstalled 
using the packages built by the system while kde-4 was installed. FWIW, dbus 
and hald were left running after kde-3 was installed.
