I agree that kde should be using 2.95.2 throughout; however, as I stated a while back, a lot of people are not gonna be happy with recompiling their libs to use use new applications. And I still pose the question, is it okay to port an application requiring the new gcc and marking as broken for < -current until the qt/kde apps require the new gcc and/or mainstream release uses it. ----- Chris D.
