Heh. I definitely know what you mean and thank you very much for the kind
encouragement! =:)

Should any problem pop up during my testing, I'll report back immediately.


Yes, DEFINITELY please do!  There have been a few little buglets that we've
uncovered since 4.2.0 was released and we're fixing them as we find them in
the 4.2 branch (THANKS DOUG!!), so in the event that you find something
amiss, please do file a bug on bugs.kde.org and we'll look into it quickly.
=:)

Thanks again for the e-mail Gunter! =:)
