I'm always grateful for the devs' unpaid work (big smile),
but the KDE team does seem a bit over-cautious about stability sometimes.

The only problem I've had with 3.5.0 is Kpdf crashing on a 'recent document'.

Not on this machine.

I have Fluxbox installed as a back-up & configure KDE to be very simple:
KDE has an excellent facility for restarting apps with each session
& I like different backgrounds for my  10  desktops.

3.5.1 is the current testing version, which I may install next weekend.
I recommend using the individual packages, not the big metabuilds.
