i have kde 4.1 working very well with all the apps i'm using (from firefox
to old 3.5 apps to gtk+ apps). the configurability is much more improved
than previous versions and the overall system is good. it is slotted and so
it can be installed and used with 3.5 not uninstalled.
the problem it has is with nvidia boards (8xx and 9xx series) due to bugs in
the nvidia driver (but there is some workaround on the kde.org site
somewhere) and the kwin effects aren't like compiz ones. compiz, though,
works very well with kde4 and kwindecorator4 if you use the 0.7 version from
the desktop-effects overlay and compile it with kde4 use flag. if it fails
just add /usr/kde/svn/bin to the PATH with export PATH=/usr/kde/svn/bin and
it should build. if that works just add a PATH=$PATH:/usr/kde/svn/bin  line
in the .bashrc file in the home directories of your users (/root/.bashrc and
/home/<your user name here>/.bashrc) this will make your kde 4.1 bin
directory available to command line without passing by full path.
one thig you might experience is that old 3.5 apps could have a blank icon
when started in kde4.
