I'll add this.  KDE 4.6 has shutdown/logout issues here.  If I have 
Kpatience or Konqueror open when I log out, it won't log out.  I have to 
go to a console, login, kill xdm, kill the leftover cruft from KDE, 
restart xdm and login.  There was a update to kdelibs that was supposed 
to fix this but I may need to re-emerge konqueror, Kpatience and friends 
for it to die cleanly.

Right now, I would wait unless whatever is stable is causing you 
issues.  This would be a really good idea if someone that is not geeky 
is using the system.  They may not know how to kill everything or have 
the root password to kill it all.  If it is just you, you may not mind 
the extra steps.

If you are interested, I can post back if re-emerging those fixes it or 
not.  I upgraded kdelibs but have not re-emerged the rest yet.
