I'm not sure I feel like compiling my own QT or KDE so I'll wait and
sort out my problems in the interim.

I don't know what Slackware has released, but other distros do have
Qt-4.4.3 and KDE-4.2.0 so they should be available soon, if not now for
your distro.
Pat Volkerding is pretty conservative and focuses on simplicity, stability and
security. The only heavyweight desktop in Slack is KDE but he released Slack-12.2
in December with KDE-3.5.9. as he did not think KDE-4 was ready yet. He prefers to
ship software as developers wrote/release it so he's not inclined to change or
modify much hence KDE-4 is in current/testing but will most probably be in the
next release. I might wait for the next major change when kde4 comes out of
testing and replaces 3.5.9 in /current/kde and qt moves up a notch or 2 and do a
crash and burn install on a spare partition.

I usually don't run Current but maybe I'll do a complete upgrade when
everything bumops up to the appropriate notch.

I'm just saying that you should have Qt-4.4.3 before you consider it a
bug. Also, I was told that printing functions had been improved for
Qt-4.5 but I don't think that you should try that with KDE-4.2.0. You
don't have to upgrade, it is your system, but the problem may have been
fixed in a slightly newer system.
I don't think I claimed any of my problems were bugs. I was just here saying I
have this or that problem and wondering if anyone else had had them and/or knew
how to fix them. I've been doing Linux long emough to know that if the dog ate it
its because I didn't feed the dog.

I know the drill, fix and compile/compile and change, mod and hack or be patient
and wait for the next release.

Probably been too much time/bandwidth spent on this thread anyway.
