Description:
After upgrading from KDE 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 and log-in, my desktop showed a huge blank image and a lot of red button-like images with white crosses on them. There was no wallpaper, no plasmoids, no kicker, nothing at all, just a blank image and useless mouse pointer. Since qt-4.5.3 has recently being released, I (and many others http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10333) have been experiencing problems on Opera. Apparently, such a problem was solved by downgrading to qt-5.4.2-7. For this I marked as "IgnorePkg = qt = 4.5.3-2" in my /etc/pacman.conf file. After this and since everything was working perfectly, I upgraded to KDE 4.3.2 and then found that nothing at all was working correctly. After this, I thought that qt-4.5.3 could be a missing dependency, so I tried to upgrade to qt-5.4.3. Done this, everything seems to work again. Therefore, please, add qt-4.5.3 as a required dependency for KDE 4.3.2 as many other users are suffering or will suffer from this bug. I'm not sure whether or not this is the responsible package for it, but I know its a core/central one. Steps to reproduce: - Downgrade to qt-4.5.2 - Upgrade from KDE 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 - Check your KDE is broken - Upgrade to qt 4.5.3 - Check your new KDE 4.3.2 is functional again. |

So, sorry for the inconveniences I might have caused you mates.
Best regards! :-)
kde 4.3.2 packages should depend on qt>=4.5.3
BTW: the correct depends would be qt>=4.5.0
KDE 4.3.2 does NOT work with qt version 4.5.2, but does work with qt version 4.5.3
Is this correct? If that's the case, then qt>=4.5.0 is definitely not correct
Maybe it SHOULD, but it DOES NOT and before this evidence, something should be done. I have tested it out on own computer and you could try it too. Just downgrade qt-4.5.3 to 4.5.2 and reboot. If everything works like a charm on you computer, just forget all has been said here, otherwise, qt >= 4.5.3 should be a requirement for all kde packages.
Thanks a lot for reconsidering this issue.
Best regards! :-)
