Well, I caved and had my desktop upgrade overnight. I had searched for the threads you mentioned, and they looked more like problems caused by Debian packaging issues and version mismatches, so that didn't deter me. And what do you know? Search works :) . While there are other (minor) UI issues, they are not enough for me to want to downgrade. I won't be upgrading my laptop, though, for now at least. Oh, one more downside: if you use kopete, you'll have to uninstall it, because version 16.12.2 is still based on KF 4, and thus depends on kdepimlibs, which blocks the upgrade. I was only launching it out of habit at this point, so I don't *really* mind (though that's one of the reasons I'm not upgrading the laptop, so that I still have on instance of kopete to rely on if need be).
