Many thanks, that was my aging iBook's shot at getting KDE 4.5 after all :-).
I've just upgraded it and on first glance everything seems to be in order and work well; even the switchover from the tray- based KNetworkManager to the new plasmoid seems to have gone flawlessly, even with me using the Plasma Netbook workspace rather than the regular Plasma Desktop.

How does one get this setup ? I lost the knetworkmanager icon in the task bar a long time ago and would love to get a plasmoid.
Thanks

If you have 'kde-plasma-networkmanagement' package installed, you can get the plasmoid.

Got it.
Not sure if I needed to log out of my session and log back in or not because I was looking for knetworkmanager in the plasmoid list. Anyway, I found it under Networkmanagement and WOW is it nice ! Talk about polished !
Great work.
KDE has really come together with 4.5.
Installed and ran just fine. Even with qt 4.7.

$ rpm -q kdelibs kdelibs-4.5.2-7.fc13.i686
It runs great, though I haven't done a lot of Konqueror testing. Its been bugging me lately with both HTML engines. Lots of web pages not opening properly, etc.
I noticed an immediate speed improvement with the new KDE release.
I can't wait to see some of the speedups in future Qt/Plasma releases that Sergio has been posting about.
Keep up the good work, guys.

Hi Rex,
It works great for me. BTW any update on PIM-4.5 ?

I use kde-testing. Since the update to kde*-4.5.2-1.fc13.x86_64, in the compose window of Kontact/Kmail I no longer see the red wavy underline of misspelled words. The spell checker still detects mispelled words, though, because a right click on a *mispelled* word (such a the "mispelled" in this sentence) shows a popup menu with spelling proposals, instead of the usual popup menu with actions (Undo, Clear, Find..., Replace..., and so on).
With kdebase and kdelibs version 4.4.5-1.fc13.x86_64 that I had before, misspelled words were underlined with a red wavy line.
I rebooted by machine since the update (because of a kernel update), so it cannot be caused by a mixed of loaded libraries versions.

Now that you mention it I have the same problem in F14.

Works fine here F14/kde-4.5.2 (i386), maybe a x86_64 problem?

Nope, is not. I had it as well (32 bit), but with settings->spellcheck (from german Einstellungen->Rechtschreibung) I could enable the red wavy underline again.

What does Settings->Spellchecker... says? Is the first option set?
No, all that is set is "skip run-together words"
To be honest I have never changed those settings or realised they was there.

On another machine, also using kde-testing, but i386, I have the same buggy behavior.

Looks like it's not a bug, but a setting which apparently changed its default.
IMHO not doing the red squiggles by default is the right thing to do, but then not everyone routinely writes in 4 languages like I do.

This is a bug. I do have with the automatic spell checker activated by default. I was my setting with 4.4 and it is also with 4.5.
I routinely write in English and French, and that is why I have the "header" named Dictionary shown in the compose window, so that I can change it on the fly.

I agree. Even if the option is set sometimes it shows the wavy selection and sometimes not.

I also have the dictionary dropbox shown by default for the same reason.

Took the plunge. So far so good. But now a thought. What happens when I try to upgrade to f14? If I take the standard route it would try to downgrade kde, which might break things.

F14 already has 4.5.2 (in the GA release), so if you upgrade NOW (well, as soon as you can get ahold of the image :-) FYI, RC1 is the gold image, so if you have that, you already have the GA version; Beta and TC1 are older), it shouldn't be an issue.
That said, this issue has always been there, also affecting other packages (even yum on at least one occasion). My recommendation is just never to upgrade to a GA release without updates. In other words: use preupgrade, or run yum on the running system (but the latter is not officially supported, and it's generally a bad idea to do it from within X11 because such upgrades have been known to trigger X11 crashes). NEVER use the DVD for upgrading. (And, as you probably know, the live CD isn't an option for upgrades in the first place.)
And by the way, Anaconda will never downgrade a package. It will just keep the F13 updates version, which may have broken dependencies as a result of the upgrade. The next yum update will fetch the F14 updates version and fix the issue. But (by upgrading to F14 GA with no updates) you can temporarily end up with no working KDE until you run the yum update on F14.

OK, one maybe serious problem. kwin is sucking cpu. Just doing nothing, except running htop, kwin is sucking 10-30% cpu. This is on proprietary nvidia driver, desktop effects on. I'm sure it didn't do this before.

Disable desktop effects does fix this. Still, a regression.

It appears that if I turn off 'Blur' effect load is improved noticably.

I'm using kde-testing repo from apt.kde-redhat.org at the moment, can someone advise on the best way to move to the fedora-updates repo once KDE 4.5.2 is pushed? I'm assuming that I can just turn off apt.kde-redhat.org and then newer packages will eventually be pulled from fedora-updates, but that might not be the best way.
