this is very interesting, and it seems that our KDE problems page should have a \
section devoted to these topics. Generally though this should rather be addressed by \
the KDE folks themselves.

Great. Out of curiosity I had just tested the latest 4.12.4 version because I had \
noticed some occasional crashes in an earlier version of the game.

Ha, and another overlap here, although I came from KDevelop!
Is there a bug at b.k.o. for the KBounce issue?

It looks like our little wiki page already starts to do something good!!! :-D
I actually didn’t imagine that just creating this page would get immediate feedback \
among us, Ian. Look, we were in frequent contact, but didn’t come across these issues \
just by b.k.o. So the last night’s hours on my end were obviously already \
well-invested. :-)

Yup.
As said above I think we should have a section listing the issues we find on hour \
endeavour.

Always good to identify a guilty one! ;-)

Great.
