Actually, probably not! At least with the current development version of KDE, 
there are some problems. For example, arts will not work - it will segfault 
upon start. I'm highly sure that this behavior is also there in KDE 2.1.2, 
although I did not specifically test it. There are probably some other 
problems as well, but just note that these are not causes by KDE, but by GCC!

For now, you're safer using a previous version of GCC. Even the folks on the 
Linux kernel mailing list have said several times that it's currently a bad 
(and probably risky) idea to use GCC 3.0 for compiling the Linux kernel.

This, as well as some GCC 3 tests I have done here, suggests to me that GCC 
3.0 should probably not yet be used in a "production environment", i.e. in an 
environment where you actually want to be sure that the software you have 
will compile and work properly.

Greetings
Nils
