LXQt is very nice, and lighter then Xfce with GTK3. Even using Plasma programs its still a bit lighter on RAM and CPU.
Mr. Workman,
Thank you very much!
The new packages have been installed and, overall, all is working well.
Cosmetically, it wiped out the wallpaper settings, but not the launchers on the panel or desktop.
The panel/preferences/appearance section is now missing the "Alpha" option, making it impossible to have a transparent panel, yet maintain brightness and color in the icons on the panel.
The icons within the "Notification" area are minuscule to nearly too small to notice and nothing I've tried, so far, enlarges their size.
All the KDE4 applications launched from within xfce worked as they should.
More later.
Thanks, again, for making the packages available.

At first it appeared there were no problems running KDE4, but then, while in Pale Moon, posting a message here, I right clicked on the message box (where I'm typing now) and Pale Moon disappeared in a flash. Bam! Gone.
4.14pre1 makes a real mess of XSnow. Santa is a moving blur and the 'snow' looks like string confetti falling down the screen.
Back to the "stable version."

Oh, I forgot to mention: you should be using the Adwaita gtk theme and the Adwaita icon theme, unless you happen to have something else (e.g. Greybird and elementary) that you *know* works properly with latest gtk3. That's probably the issue with the notification icons at the very least, and quite possibly other stuff too.
