Well, in fact, I'm using RHEL at work (I've not chosen to, It was 
already there).
Some day I opened a support case to indicate that the KDE4 they provided 
did not work as expected, whereas KDE3 had no problem in previous RHEL 
releases.
The only answer I got from RH was "would you mind switching to gnome ?".

The funny thing is that, if they had solved my KDE4 problem, I would 
never have built TDE for RHEL :-)
The TDE community can thank the RHEL tech support.

Okay, nepomuk was just an example, I do not know what Kwin 4.3 requires 
exactly to run.
My wish is that we could install a kwin4 version on every distro, that 
would NOT require a QT4 upgrade and/or lots of unwanted KDE4 stuff .

My guess is that kwin 4.9 will not build against older qt4/kde4.
That's why I suggested to stick with the distribution-provided Kwin 
version, modifying just the small parts that we want.

If I'm wrong and that there is a way to build Kwin 4.9 on older 
QT4/KDE4, I would of course prefer using Kwin 4.9 .
