KDE 4.2 is still below beta quality

KDE 4.2 is still an alpha quality code. Code reaches beta quality when testers are required to find bugs. Anything with evident bugs is an alpha regardless of what it can do.

Since Slackware current testing readme tells us that KDE 4 will be probably merged into the main tree soon, I decided that it is time to check it out. In less than an hour I experienced the following immediately evident bugs:

I was hoping to avoid posting in the hardware forum, but as I haven't been making any headway by searching elsewhere, I posted there. From the research I've done, it looks as if the development of the madwifi modules stopped before my kernel came out (2.6.21.5) and there is some detail that prevents it from compiling properly.
