You *can* run KDE with aa fonts on 4.1, but there is certain drivers that
cause KDE applications to crash with aa enabled. That is why I didn't compile
qt with -xft to avoid people saying, oh, KDE 3.0.4 apps crash on my woody
system that I regard to be *stable*. I don't talk around known problems for a
certain amount of users, the note says, if you don't want xfree 4.2 installed
that is known to cause less if no problems with aa fonts and use 4.1 from
woody, fine, but for the sake of the stability of your system, not with aa
fonts :-)
