They continue to update intermittently; I think it's safe to say that KDE 4.1.4 is the goal right now and once we can safely ship it (for some definition of safe) for S10 and OSOL, *then* we will turn our attention to KDE 4.2 -- roughly as I described in earlier mail, because KDE 4.2 has some real dependency issues on OSOL 2008.11. > > - KDE's screen lock still can't unlock (sometimes can't even lock) the > > screen, but as I said elsewhere, xlock does the job just as well for me. This requires someone to get medieval on either kdesktop_lock or kcheckpass and figure out where the communication is falling apart. Make sure there's a bug filed for it; that makes planning much easier (and in the hypothetical situation of Sun throwing some engineers at a problem, is a good starting point for their work). > > - I use two screens; when the mouse is in the second screen, I cannot get > > a background menu with the right button, nor have I found a way to give > > it non-black background (ie the same as on the primary screen).

Xinerama or multiple-screen support is sometihng that might only have happened well in the KDE 4.2 timeframe. Again, not something I test at home, so it needs bugs filed and some effort from elsewhere. > I've tried it as well.
