Anybody interested in patching a few bugs? The most serious 3.5.12 bugs affecting me are limited to kdelibs/kdebase. I would backport the patches to 3.5.12 and rebuild to test.
Here is a short list of bugs that affect me.
293, Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root directory 385, Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop 387, Kicker/Panel Clock Font Display Looks Weird 388, KDESU Dialog Box Behavior 393, Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate 394, Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu 427, NumLock light does not reflect actual state
I use kdesu a lot. Those bugs are especially hindering.
Please let me know. I'll test any patches immediately.
Thanks everybody for your devotion and work.

293, Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root directory
385, Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop
I think this is related to other system component, maybe udev. I've been having that problem with KDE 3.5.10.
387, Kicker/Panel Clock Font Display Looks Weird 388, KDESU Dialog Box Behavior
I am of the opinion that the checkbox should go away, permanently. While performing sudo requiring actions, you should always insert the password or you're liable to have other software do what it wants with the machine.
393, Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate
Hmm... This may be sudo related.
394, Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu 427, NumLock light does not reflect actual state
Very strange one.
Best regards, Tiago

Darrell , there some stub about these issues:
293, Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root
directory
umm no info , could explain more details
385, Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop
this happen from kde original proyect, i dont nkow but only happen with devices that not listed on fstab, I will explain that; since hal&udev handles auto-remove devices and mount, fstab file not necesari list&handle all devices rules mount, so then if device not appears in fstab, desktop icon umount not appear on desktop, only wen hal mount , device icon appears, so then this ist a problem of out-date desktop proyect kde, that its not prepared for new free-desktop & dev-hal up-to-day rules..
387, Kicker/Panel Clock Font Display Looks Weird
no info from me..
388, KDESU Dialog Box Behavior
please provide more details
393, Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate
err this will happen realy?
394, Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu

293, Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root directory umm no info , could explain more details
The bugzilla contains good details. The problem is that when kde-config is used in read mode there should be nothing else happening other than reporting the requested information. kde-config will create a profile directory all the time of one does not exist. When used in a non-interactive shell script, the default location is the system root (not user root) and kde-config will create a profile directory in the system's file system. Repeatable 100%. KDE 3.5.10 and KDE do this too.
385, Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop this happen from kde original proyect, i dont nkow but only happen with devices that not listed on fstab, I will explain that; since hal&udev handles auto-remove devices and mount, fstab file not necesari list&handle all devices rules mount, so then if device not appears in fstab, desktop icon umount not appear on desktop, only wen hal mount , device icon appears, so then this ist a problem of out-date desktop proyect kde, that its not prepared for new free-desktop & dev-hal up-to-day rules..
Might be HAL related, but as I stated in the bugzilla report, I never have this problem in 3.5.10. We had a conversation in the list about the problem in December and Tim agreed this is a bug: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::830.
387, Kicker/Panel Clock Font Display Looks Weird no info from me..
Discussed in the list: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::841. A solution is provided in the bugzilla: to provide a check box to disable/enable transparency.
388, KDESU Dialog Box Behavior please provide more details
I added a screen grab to the bug report.
393, Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate err this will happen realy?
Yes, that happens, really. :) Read my comment from March 29 in the bugzilla for a possible cause.
394, Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu ok this are from kde 3.5 .. some saint google related topics but nothing that i found yet
The problem never occurs in KDE 3.5.10.
427, NumLock light does not reflect actual state also from kde 3.5 too, no info, some saint google related topics but nothing serious.. kde never take care about that..
Probably so. Num Lock retention never worked in KDE 3.5.10 for me either. My best approach was to always select the Leave Unchange check box. That seems to produce the least problems. The problem is not entirely KDE either. The kernel is set to to toggle Num Lock off. X is set to toggle Num Lock off.
