Stan, you may want to investigate going directly to KDE4.6.0.  There
have been significant changes and bug fixes leading up to the 4.6.0
release.  I'm using 4.6.0 on all installs running KDE, and it's - at
least on my machines - noticeably better than 4.5.5.  You are starting
from a clean install of 11.3, so the upgrade to 4.6.0 could well be
worth it over 4.5.5.
