Yes, I just put GCC 3 on my test machine and aRts really won't work properly. 
Most other parts of KDE do (more or less). If it comes to compilation times - 
well, I was away most of the time it compiled, so I cannot say much yet ;-) 
However, I won't put GCC 3 on my workstation until it has shown me that it is 
able to compile the whole KDE stuff. Seems that we'll have to wait for the 
next maintenence release of GCC 3 (which will come soon, according to the 
announcement I got from the gcc-announce list), which will *hopefully* deal 
with the virtual inheritance bug (and probably some other known bugs as well).

Greetings
Nils
