Try F9 + updates then, you get the exact same KDE (4.1.2 with the same
patches) (except that kdepim, Digikam and Amarok are KDE 3 versions, you
can get the KDE 4 versions rebuilt for F9 from kde-redhat unstable if you
really want them, but if you want something rock solid you'll want the KDE
3 versions of those anyway), without the assorted breakage elsewhere.
(Hopefully that stuff will get sorted out soon in an update for F10.)
