I've been sitting here watching the changelog and waiting for the .8 kernel for a while now, normally Pat updates the kernel the day after I do a manual build making my effort a waste of time, so this time I sit here waiting, and he doesn't update it. I'm sure he's hacked my system to watch me and only ever does a kernel update the day after I build my own, just to spite me.
Just a wild guess, but maybe Slackware 13.1 will only come out after KDE 4.4 is ready enough.
The packages are available from alienBOB, and most people seem to like it.
I abandoned KDE since 4.0, but I *might* try it again when it reaches Slackware-stable.
My bet is that we will get a new KDE + polkit compiled with a shadow backend. Robby Workman wrote a patch for polkit that allows it to be used without PAM, probably he did that for the next Slackware release.
