KDE 3.20 Beta

I've got a box or two using "~x86" without too much hassle. You get a feel 
after a while of what you can get away with. For instance, the new thread 
model for glibc, kde 3.2.0, etc.

All in all, it works as advertised. But like the quirks you mentioned, xmms 
has pretty much died in that box. I'm using JUK at moment, it's a lot slower 
than xmms, but interfaces nicely since it's a kde native.

Cheers all.
