C,

        No silver bullet on the kde4 issue, but this is exactly why I keep a 
current
install of fluxbox, openbox, pekwm, sawfish, windowmaker, twm, fvwm2, xfce and
gnome on the box :p Strangely, I find myself gravitating more toward fluxbox,
xfce, gnome and kde3 than I do toward kde4. But, thankfully, 44 on 11.0 is
running fine. Good luck! (really, check out fluxbox, openbox, and pekwm) Total
install, less than 3 meg. (that's for all 3 desktops) X11:/windowmanagers
repository :p
