New USB devices not seen in KDE
After applying the big March 1st upgrade, KDE no longer sees new USB devices when I plug them in. Is this a KDE issue, or what?

Building TeX Live on -current
Many of those who compile TeX Live do probably use an excellent SlackBuild script by Robby Workman, available at slackbuilds.org and a number other places. Unfortunately, it does not work on the -current branch after the latest updates. Compilation breaks with an error message like pngimage.c:(.text+0x24c): unde... 6 Mar 2010 16:16
