I installed it (and with everything from testing... is there a way to _just_ update testing/kde and not all packages??). I switched to run level 3, backed up my ~/.kde4, updated, then switched back to rl 5.

It looks really nice! Here are my comments:
1) Strigi is said to be suspended, but I can hear my HD going crazy... Is it really suspended?

2) Theme is dark... See http://nbigaouette.inrs-emt.homelinux.net/linux/arch/kde42.png The menu is unreadable... Its hard also on the task bar. But the menu is really bad.

3) Alt-Tab, Alt+F1, Alt+F2, ctrl+alt+left/right stopped working.

The rest seems _really_ nice! :)

Also, could please someone confirm me, that KDE 4.1 freezes when updating?
After some package was updated, Plasma went frozen and I had to shutdown the X
server and finnish the update from console.

This could be serious. If, for some reason, you are updating something
like bash and dependent libraries at the same time, the upgrade could
be aborted when bash is updated but dependent libs are not, breaking
bash. It's probably not likely, but is a possibility (it did happen to
be once a long time ago)

Dunno if I'm being superstitious or not, but I always make sure to not be running an app when pacman goes to update it. (e.g., exit X when updating X or KDE, shut down a daemon like cups or ssh when updating it, dropping to single user mode when updating the kernel, etc.)
