Thanks Brian, but I was hoping for KDE 3.5.x sicne I find KDE 4 to be 
quite incomplete.  Most my friends think KDE 4 is a regression.  I find 
it to have completely messed up workflow, they say it's "innovative" but 
I find it quite ugly and annoying to use, and just as bloated.  But at 
least you're giving us an alternative to GNOME.  I look forward to some 
beta binary packages.  What's the best way of building it anyways?  I 
saw SFE specs for KDE and many related libraries.
