It looks like I'll be moving back to Gnome sometime in the hopefully near future after just ditching my Ubuntu Hoary partition and going to Gentoo and KDE 3.4 yesterday.

I suspect we won't see somewhat stable bleeding edge of this stuff for another 6 months though - about the time GCC 4.0 starts getting widely accepted ;)

Things are going to get very, very fast
