Kpackage was a relic of the old KDE3 days gone by
LOL. I didn't know. I use it when I was a GUI for searching available/installed packages so I don't have to remember the apt commands 
What do people use instead of kpackage? |

| If you want a gui then try packagesearch which is included in kde-full (but not xfce as it is a qt application). |

Be aware that upower, udisks and polkit-kde-1 might need to be installed explicitly (the first two should be handled by hard dependencies, but polkit-kde-1 likely doesn't get pulled in by default).
Thank you for that. Indeed, I had to install polkit-kde-1 manually. Cheers.  |

I would like to add that the video no longer dumps video memory on the log-out background, with the last set of upgrades,
For some reason mine still dumps video memory when I logout. Does anyone know why this happens? |

On my system the video memory dump effect still is exists. (nouveau driver with NV44A [GeForce 6200])
As not only nvidia cards do show this issue it seems that it came up with xorg 1.10, I guess. |

Oh, but I do have another issue with KDE4.6.3 on two systems: The desktop grid (and also the desktop-switch up+down by hotkey functionality) does use the wrong desktop geometry.
One system with 6x3 desktops, a pager in a left panel (none in the default panel) uses a desktop grid of 9x2 panels (two rows). I could fix it by adding a pager in the default panel. Also I could remove it again, and the grid keeps the right geometry.
Another systems uses 4x2 desktops and the desktop grid did show 1x8 desktops. The pager is in the one and only default panel at the bottom of the screen. Removing and Readding the pager did not help. The only solution was to manually specify the desktop geometry in the desktop grid, instead of setting the layout mode to "pager". |

I have nouveau running here in good condition.
nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2)
I did eventually add xserver-xorg-video-nouveau but other than possibly helping with remnants, I see no huge benefit.

I'm sure I don't know how to check for panels in deskop or even at this point what geometry I have (other than I have four virtual desktops). Other than edification, I do not need to know this personally, but might be useful if only to provide experience with respect to troubleshooting.
I will say that on this old laptop, this upgrade ranks at the top. KDE 4.6 is faster than anything I've tried other than KDE 3.5.x (Gnome 2.x doesn't run well at all). Other than upgrading to Iceweasel 4.0, this is very close to out-of-the-box and seems to run quite well.
Let me know if any information might be useful to you and I will get back when I can. |

| On two of my machines after upgrade to newest kde I cannot suspend from kde "Leave" menu or from widget. When I press the "suspend" in the menu - nothing happens, and from the widget I get a message "Do you want to suspend to RAM (sleep)?" and after clicking OK nothing happens. However, I'm not sure if it's KDE related in the first place.... udisk, upower, polkit-kde are installed. |

| Guess what? It really is KDE related. When my current .kde folder is removed and a clean one is created - everything works fine. That means that something happened because of the upgrade... |

That works as a definite last resort when you can't get certain things working. Most likely the config files got messed up along the way which can cause the issues you mentioned. You can then reset your themes and other settings to get the behavior you want. |

That's exactly what I did - I reset everything from a clean .kde folder. Hate doing this, as there are quite a few thing to do (keyboard layouts, window buttons, etc). |
