@Chris:
Thanks for your explanations.

I disagree, I can't use kate, nor konqueror, nor kmail to do serious work on the affected machine, because
every other action would be to apply some trickery to get the window repainted, which makes it impossible
to concentrate on the work being done. Thus I insist on this being a very severe bug, if not for most users,
obviously for more than just me.

Which KDE bug are you referring to?

to me this doesn't sound like a good reason (for whatever conclusion)
;-)

further bugs into the system.

Are you referring to the KDE 4.3 fix? What if the bug is really in Qt 4.5?
After an upgrade broke my machine I, too, would prefer a more conservative solution
as suggested by Luis: using a "better" version of Qt within Jaunty 
(perhaps using an optional repository?),
rather than hoping that hoping the next release will be more stable 
with no alternative to go if it doesn't.

OTOH, once packaging KDE 4.3 starts, could you post pre-liminary packages
that we could try within the Jaunty install, so we have an option to revert if the
bug didn't get fixed that way or if the fix breaks other things?

Thanks
