Hi,
FYI: Users of Fedora 18+ that have a Radeon HD video card which uses the r600g driver may have experienced kwin crashes [1] at log in. These were caused by a newly added feature "msaa visuals" in Mesa-9.1 [2]. Fredrik Höglund (kwin developer) created a patch [3] that solved this issue for kde. If mesa upstream will do something in this respect is unclear to me.
I've tested the patch against kde-workspace-4.10.2-4.fc18.src.rpm and it worked fine.
It would be nice if a next build of kde-workspace could incorporate the patch.
I hope this request is not too obtrusive.
Thanks,
Martin Kho

It's integrated into kde-workspacae-4.10.2-6+ builds in koji, http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=13124
Unfortunately, can't stuff into kde repos yet, as there's some hardware problems on the primary host I'll have to sort out first.

Hi Rex,
Wow, that's fast! Many thanks for that.

No problem I can wait. Besides, I' m currently running my own 'patched' version :-)
