Yes, I'm pretty much resigned to having to wait until kde4 for proper gcc4
support, but am /really/ looking forward to that!

BTW, it's a bit off topic for this thread, but if there's someplace you
could point me to with updated info on what's happening to arts and/or
what's going to be replacing it in kde4, I know quite a number of folks
that are interested.  It seems I knew more than most when the topic came
up in at least two groups (the amd64 list, and the local *ix group here at
Cox), but my info is now severely outdated, since most of it is from last
year's aKademy coverage and the like, when the only thing really settled
was that 3.4 would continue to use ARTS and they would look at a
replacement for 4.0.  Now that 4.0 is getting closer, one would hope the
kde4 sound question has been resolved rather more concretely than that,
and as I said, I know a lot of folks (certainly myself included) that will
be interested in learning more about whatever has been concluded.
