Im not doing very well here today at all.  Since I updated to KDE 4.1 
Beta2  Open Office wont work (Launchpad 237660),I cant add network 
folders (Launchpad 200925)  and just looking at dmesg I think Im also 
suffering from "AMP is not SMP safe hardy lockup" (Launchpad 227671).  
If I revert to KDE 3 same issues keep occurring.  I'm just mentioning 
this in case anyone is tempted to upgrade to KDE 4.1 - I think youd be 
better off leaving it for a bit till things get sorted.  Im going to 
leave the camera for a bit till system is functioning a-ok again.
