hi,
my system is gentoo amd64, kde 4.3. and i found nepomuk, along with
some other packages, are using 4.4 version. is it correct?
also, i have a problem with nepomuk. whenever i start X, it pops up
"Nepomuk was not able to find the configured database backend
'sesame2'. Existing data can thus not be". the message is truncated,
and i have no way to read them all. how can i fix this?

No.
Nepomuk is slotted like KDE. I suspect you are running a stable system and
have added nepomuk to packages.keywords and it is now pulling in latest
~arch nepomuk

oh, i guess it all my fault. i tried to emerge kde 4.4 once, but
failed. i did not have time to resolve the error. so i rolled back to
kde 4.3, and did a simple emerge -uvND world. i think this did not
help me roll back the packages that were updated when i was trying to
emerge kde 4.4.
how should i roll back those miss updated packages back to 4.3? or can
someone tell me if kde 4.4 is pretty stable to use for desktop?

4.4 is as safe to use as 4.3 (or equally broken depending on your point of
view).
If you run an arch machine, then remove all the KDE stuff out of
package.keywords and let emerge -avuND world do it's thing. Don't try and run
unstable KDE on a stable machine, you end up with too much stuff in ~arch.
If you run an ~arch machine, then do nothing and let emerge -avuND world do
it's thing.

I've found 4.4, even the betas, to be far more stable than 4.3. It's the
first version that I consider properly usable.
