Just a heads up for the brave souls who are going to give this a shot, 
upgrading to 3.1.93 from the stock KDE breaks some stuff (not 
surprisingly).

I installed the packages on a basically clean setup of Core 1, and the 
menu entries got slightly screwed up, various KDE apps crash randomly, 
and for some reason any OpenGL-based program (tuxracer, celestia, etc) 
crash immediately.  Additionally, the repository does not offer any 
yum/apt headers (as I write this) so you'll have to do some command-line 
RPM finagling for everything to work.

In spite of all that, I must say I'm quite impressed with the new 
version.  Lots of little improvements to the UI as well as a slightly 
snappier responsiveness make it worth the hassles (at least for us 
bleeding-edge fetishists :)
