Pat Volkerding is pretty conservative and focuses on simplicity, stability and 
security. The only heavyweight desktop in Slack is KDE but he released Slack-12.2 
in December with KDE-3.5.9. as he did not think KDE-4 was ready yet. He prefers to 
ship software as developers wrote/release it so he's not inclined to change or 
modify much hence KDE-4  is in current/testing but will most probably be in the 
next release. I might wait for the next major change when kde4 comes out of 
testing and replaces 3.5.9 in /current/kde  and qt moves up a notch or 2 and do a 
crash and burn install on a spare partition.

I don't think I claimed any of my problems were bugs. I was just here saying I 
have this or that problem and wondering if anyone else had had them and/or knew 
how to fix them. I've been doing Linux long emough to know that if the dog ate it 
its because I didn't feed the dog.

I know the drill, fix and compile/compile and change, mod and hack or be patient 
and wait for the next release. 

Probably been too much time/bandwidth spent on this thread anyway.
