Hi all,
I agree with Charles. 3.1.4 is a security update as well as a bug fix.

KDE:
http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030916-1.txt

I don't understand why nobody on the suse-security mailing list has taken up 
the issue of the lack of KDE 3.1.4 RPMs, especially since the problem was 
originally noticed by a subscriber to suse-security:
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2002-Dec/0101.html

Other distros have sent security advisories and created binaries for download:
Mandrake:MDKSA-2003:091 
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2003:091
RedHat:RHSA-2003:270 
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2003-270.html 
Debian:DSA-388-1
http://www.debian.org/security/2003/dsa-388

So, why not SuSE?
Best regards
