== Qt4 ==
* '''Problem''': CSS currently resets fonts in widgets when used, making it very difficult to use with widgets where fonts are set programmatically as done throughout KDE.
** Affects: All widgets using CSS, such as the Konqueror location bar when using CSS to set an offset for the clear button.
** Solution: Pending; perhaps a CSS value (font: QWidget?) that prevents the style sheet from resetting fonts outside of what the widget is doing. Can be done currently on a case-by-case basis by overriding changeEvent, intercepting font changes and updating CSS strings containing the font desired; this is error prone (easy to trigger infinite loops) and seems sub-optimal.
** Status: Pending upstream notification.
 
* '''Problem''': Designer converts WhatsThis text to richtext blocks
** Affects: translators who get opaque blocks of html code
** Solution: None yet
** Status: Pending

== Xine ==
* '''Problem''': short Oggs are not played properly
** Affects: Phonon playing short sounds, therefore all audio notification in KDE
** Solution: Patch being worked on by Matthias Kretz, needs to be upstreamed to libxine
** Status: Pending patch completion and approval
 
== gcc 4.3 ==
* '''Problem''': gcc 4.3 is expected to be released around the same time as KDE 4.0. Current gcc 4.3 SVN snapshots miscompile KDE 4.0 snapshots, causing core applications like plasma and konqueror to crash on startup.
** Status: small, self-contained test case is needed
