not true. There are many mirrors...only the master site has disappeared...
There have also been several promissing leads for a new master site...and
I will have a temp site up by the end of today...
plus I'm actually building updated packages right now for potato. :)

really what needs rebuilt is QT. The only thing that rebuilding kde will
get you is an option in the styles section to manipulate the QT_XFT environment
variable...ie, turn it on or off...adding "export QT_XFT=1" to your kde2
start script or your bashrc or whatever will acomplish the same thing...

you would need at least testing + qt and kde from unstable.
