I did and it caused a terrible amount of problems (yes I know its all in unstable) but normally things work well. Kontact crashing on startup (kmail crashing) , kded4 eating up 80% CPU, Kmail would run outside of Kontact but no preview in Kmails message window, akonadi failing to start (dbus errors) etc. Even just updating akonadi caused problems :( *Sorry* but I cannot debug this as this is my main machine and had to get it back to how it was, I use akonadi (kabc) so maybe that caused me more grief than expected. Rolled back to this now: qt-4.4.3 akonadi-1.1.1-1 kdepim-4.2.0-2 And all is well again. Cheers Colin -- Fedora 10 (Cambridge) Registered Linux user number #342953
