Rebuilding that one source package was enough to take care of all the
KDE4 crashes I've seen *other* than the console-based sessions, which
are probably KMS-related.  With the qt4-x11 packages built using the 4.4
compiler *with* optimization, even "kdm" would segfault.  Let me know
when the new qt4-x11 binary packages are ready, and I'll release the
holds on my current custom-built packages (to give the new ones a try).

Thanks!
