I was going to ask about that, but got distracted in replying to someone on another list. Nigel. Btw. thanks for your initial reply. I may let the upgrade to KDE4 procede on this machine, and see how it goes. I do have another instance of Don't Panic on another machine, and may well try to keep that running KDE3.5. Apt-get on my Fedora, and Debian based installs tells you how many packages are going to be upgraded. Pacman doesn't do that, and I havn't counted them, but there must be, in just scanning through the list about 120. Just how many are deps for the transition from KDE3.5 to KDE4, I've no idea. As I say, I'll probably let the transition from KDE3.5 to KDE4 procede on the new machine, and see what the new KDE4 looks like, and whether it performs as expected.
