I read jmbsvicetto's KDE 4.2 planet entry [1] today and just wanted to 
say thanks in advance.

Today (the 26th) is my birthday, so 4.2 is kind of a birthday present.  
To date I've stuck with 3.5.10 (tho I have 4.1.x merged) because the 4.x 
series just wasn't working for me (khotkeys, multi-monitors, etc).  
Everything I read points to 4.2 as changing that, and I hope it does, tho 
I know there'll be a LOT of work ahead of me customizing and making it 
fit my unique power-user ideas of what I think my UI should look and act 
like, as I have so effectively done with KDE3 over the years.

Hopefully I like my birthday present, and seeing that the ebuilds are 
ready to go in a timely manner so it doesn't become a belated one is 
nice!  Thanks for (unknowingly, but hey, I'll take it!) doing your part 
to make my birthday present a good one! =:^)

I'm looking forward to being able to unmerge most of KDE3 after I've had 
a chance to recustomize at least the roughest stuff on KDE4, keeping only 
kdelibs3 and kcontrol, etc, so the not yet ported k3b and kaffeine, etc, 
continue to work.
