It works here too.  I'm using Mandriva 2009.0 with KDE 4.2.1.

In my opinion those ``configuration problems'' are actually not problems, 
unless the configurations were sometimes changed automatically - for example, 
my Akregator.

I used both KMess2 and Kopete, both ok.  But my panel was at the screen 
bottom, and width the whole screen.

It happened at my home PC sometimes (not always).  Usually I would reboot it 
again and it was OK.

Sometimes I got Plasma crashed.  But it recovered soon and hence not a problem 
to me.  (I really appreciated it!)

Bugs and weird things always happen.  Even when I used KDE 3.5 they happened 
too. KDE 4.2 was pretty good for me to do my daily work.  It also entertained 
me and my boys at home.

Now one thing that bothered me is: when logging into KDE, SOMETIMES (again, 
not always) my KMail would not launch without any error messages.  Do you have 
similar experiences?
