qt-gui, but you can also manually switch to native, as i mentioned earlier in this thread.

I've got the antialiasing problem too. Disabling it is the only way to get things working again. It looks pretty ugly now though.

here is a good example of how to do it in-the-file

it is all about ~/.fonts.conf

I think I read somewhere.. if you have subpixel hinting vrgb or vbgr, then that font problem occurs. So, try changing the subpixel hinting.

I had tried it (vbgr -> bgr, iirc) and it worked. But I have already downgraded back to qt-4.4.2 so I can not test it right now.

I had the same problem at one point. I updated to the most recent xorg-server in ~x86 (1.5.3-r2) and I got my systray icon back. For me it was part of the solution. That also make the raster from qt-gui work.

You can read that thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-722498.html before updating you xorg-server.

I just upgraded to the ~ xorg and problem is fixed. Also, no modifications were needed for my xorg.conf as suggested on the thread Phob linked :)

Just some info. If you like bespin and got the konq crash when opening a new tab with qt 4.5, disable the transition efect for the tabs. At least here it seems pretty stable now. (cross my fingers and hope the next tab i open won't crash it :D )

I was going to say that I haven't had any problems since upgrading to Qt 4.5.0-rc1 but I just noticed that kded4 is taking almost 100% CPU now, and that's never happened before. :(

Maybe Nepomuk & Strigi are responsible for that. Once Strigi finished indexing all files in my home folder, there isn't any cpu usage out of the ordinary any more on my machine.
(or just disable nepomuk and strigi...)

Ah.. right...
"System Settings" --> "Desktop Search" is where their settings are located.

The kded4 problem for me was solved by rebuilding kdelibs after upgrading to qt-4.5 and then restarting KDE. And I keep desktop search disabled - it seems to eat away too much of my system's resources.

I rebuilt everything that was dependent on qt-gui, which pretty much rebuilt everything including kdelibs. And I've had -semantic-desktop in my USE flags for some time now. There isn't even an entry in System Settings for 'Desktop Search' anymore on my system (I would assume -semantic-desktop == no nepomuk == no Desktop Search, either that or Akonadi has replaced it and that's off too). I've also rebooted the system since the rebuild and it still happened. :?

A quick but inelegant way to fix this is to kill -9 kded4 and then restarting it.

For me everything but dolphin's file preview and some plasma features work fine. Possibly even better. Flash in webkit (arora) is nice new addition.

I got my antialiasing working again by running this after kde4.2 has started:

kwin --replace
killall -9 plasma
plasma

It's kind of odd though that fonts are only working the second time kwin and plasma are started...

Today I upgraded to qt 4.5 and kde 4.2.1 Unfortunately now lancelot uses 100% cpu and has to be killed manually. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem or knows what I need to recompile in order to have a decent program launcher back in my life.

Lancelot here is running about 20% - 80% cpu usage, and what's more it's actually stopped working in that I cannot browse the folders in the Applications menu. So it's essentially useless. Everything was rebuilt with the qt/kde upgrade last night. I wonder if this bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258758 needs to be re-opened. I don't know if the fix there is still valid though.

I think that the KDE devs forgot to add the patches for that bug to their package. Maybe the gentoo guys can do a 4.2.1-r1 with those patches. Someone can test whether that patch works with 4.2.1, I am too sleepy to do it now. :)

4.2.1 has fixed my problems with akregator resetting its columns to default widths all the time. However now selecting "log out" in KDE doesn't do anything apart from kopete signing out. If I quit kopete before selecting log out, nothing happens at all.

Anybody else come across this?

Oh man. The akregator issue had pissed me off something rotten.

Gave the raster USE flag for qt-gui another go - but getting corrupted icons and web page corruption in Konqueror, so it's not ready for prime-time yet.

I'm having big trouble since upgrading to qt-4.5.0-stable.
I can't tell what really is the problem.
First i thought something about KUniqueApplication (or how the single-app class in kde4 is called). Closing konqueror, Konsole or systemsettings resulted in a non-usable window, but did not really quit the app. Moving other windows over the app did not result in repaints, so it seems to have finished the event-loop.

I tried some more things, and there were other strange behaviours. E.g. clicking "OK" when editing settings in kmail ended in a non-responding behaviour. Or in systemsettings, when trying to import a new colorscheme; selecting a file works, but after clicking "open", systemsettings does not respond anymore (I still have the shape of the File-Dialog in the systemsettings-window).

To make things even more funny, somtimes whole kwin hung up. I could not switch windows. I had to change to another terminal and kill kwin. Sometimes even this did not get my Desktop back, and I had do [Alt-Backspace] Kill X.

Also Qt-Apps (I only realised this within bespin config) sometimes hang up. bespin config e.g. sometimes does so when loading a preset and I want to save settings.

There is neither info when starting from console, nor in X-Logs.

I really don't know, where the solution can be found. I did a qt-4.5-upgrade + kde-4.2.1 on the same day (1 day after kde-4.2.1 hit portage). Please tell me, what information you need. I have a nearly unusable desktop atm.
HEEEELP! :(

Thanks
Franz

I've noticed the same issue however Konqueror seems to be a lot more responsive and usable. If only kde-nsplugins would work more often.
