Works here. Out of the box. I just miss the icon in Alt-F2 to start it.

I still prefer a system without PulseAudio cause with PulseAudio I have
issues that just go away when I do not use it. Last issue is stuttering
sound in PlaneShift. Bug reported and basically ignored.

I do think the transition has been a lot smoother than the KDE 3 => 4 one. A
