I install Xorg in /usr/X11 so I haven't experienced this issue. Maybe
a note should be added.

Yes, you're right, they should be mentioned as an optional dep. for at
least kde-workspace
and kdeplasma-addons. I have been thinking about adding the python
bindings to the book.

This is a warning that has been present for a long time. But it is
just that, a warning.
If you check out your .xsession-errors file, it will contain alot of
them. The warning
message is fixed in Kde 5. Considering the warning message is normally not
visible to the user, I don't think we need to add this patch to the book.

Kde-4.8.4 is already out, I just haven't got around to updating the
book. The warning
message is not fixed in this release. Kde-4.9 will be out 1st of August.
