Honestly, I gave up on getting new KDE packages for canned systems from 
the vendor back with COL eD24.  I remember when I upgraded to KDE2 and 
thought it was great... except that I lost all the integration that 
Caldera put into them, such as their tools being integrated with KDE. 
 Other additions have been made to make the system overall better and 
I'd hate to lose those.  So I'm still on the KDE3.1 on all my boxen, 
8.2pro and 9.0 pro both.  Sorry I'm not much help there.

I do, however, run YOU on a daily time schedule.  Aside from the 
occasional kernel update where I have to reinstall the NVIDIA driver, 
I've not had any issues (knock's on head).  It's interesting, I'll shut 
down for a bad storm or something.  When I boot back up, no GUI...  I've 
done it enough times to figure out what's happening, but it really 
stumped me for a while there.  :)
