They have libfam in common too, and that's having problems with the g++
3.2 transition: GNOME 2 uses the g++ 3.2 version (libfam0c102) while KDE
2 uses (and needs to continue using) the g++ 2.95 version (libfam0), and
the two need to conflict. I'm not sure what's being done about this: see
bug #177970.
KDE 3.1 has just been uploaded to unstable, though, and that uses g++
3.2, so it may not be a problem in the long term.
