- -mac uses the Aqua window manager, whereas -x11 uses X11, and therefore
its windows can be forwarded onto other X11 displays, etc.

Normally, you'd contact the maintainer of bundle-kde4-mac.  However,
kde4-mac is known not to work on 10.6 currently, but the bundle package
didn't get marked accordingly.  This has now been rectified.

Fink isn't Debian, so things are different.

Switching your mirror settings under "fink configure" to "use Master
mirrors first" will generally download packages immediately, as long as
they aren't new to the distribution or have a restrictive licence that
forbids our mirroring of them.  In the latter two cases the download
will fail and you'll have to go to the original source URL.
