Have you run into: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275469 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292057 while using KDE4.8? As soon as I installed from the Upstream repo, I ran smack into these bugs and the Task Manager and even Panel became completely unusable. So much so, I had to roll back to KDE4.7.4 (where the bug is only a minor annoyance vs completely breaking things like it does in KDE4.8).
You say you didn't run into any unresolvable issues... Are you using a different Qt build/version? The default one for 12.1? Anything else? How did you work around the bug? Or if you haven't seen it, I'd be interested in what is different between your and my KDE4.8 installs.
i've never seen these two bugs on my system; neither with KDE 4.7 nor 4.8. i've been using KDE/Distro:/Factory until some time ago, but switched to KDE/Release:/47 shortly after oS 12.1 came out, and now to Release:/48 following is my hard- and software details; please tell me if there's anything else you'd like to know: i'm using 3 KDE repos at present: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/48/openSUSE_12.1/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_47_openSUSE... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Playground/KDE_Rele... apart from that i have quite a few additional repo.s enabled which may or may not influence things in KDE (listed at the end). hardware: Processor (CPU): Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz Speed: 2,394.00 MHz Cores: 4 RAM: 8 GB uname -a: Linux phani 3.1.9-1.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 27 08:55:10 UTC 2012 (efb5ff4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux graphics: GeForce 7900 GS with nvidia 290.10 via the nvidia .run file and here's my full repo. list (haven't removed R:/47 yet, but they're disabled): #
