Updated KDE packages are available

Updated KDE packages are available that will fix various bugs
(including some minor security issues), improve performance, and add small
features.

Main improvements:
* security-related
+ SSL certificate loading
+ symlink vulnerability in .wmrc access by KDM introduced in 2.2

Red Hat Linux was never vulnerable to the eFax security problem fixed
in the upstream sources.

+ added support for CodeWeavers' CrossOver plug-in (provides support
for QuickTime, etc.) in Konqueror
+ added support for the wheelmouse for scrolling through the KGhostview
PS/PDF viewer component
+ ability to search for multiple patterns at a time in the file
search dialog
+ debugging multi-threaded applications with KDevelop

* fixes
+ handling of HTTP links that redirect to FTP
+ POST using SSL through a proxy and sending headers through proxies
+ saving of recently-selected files in the file dialog
+ handling of non-ASCII characters over SMB
+ toolbar button captions with certain styles
+ selecting items with the mouse in Konqueror
+ sorting in Konqueror's textview
+ saving current settings as a theme in the theme manager
+ crashes in KMail with certain mails
+ crash on invoking the KDM chooser
+ non-Latin languages with KDevelop

* performance
+ icon loading optimized
+ file dialog speedups
+ stop spinning SMB client processes
+ handling of large files in Kate

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
erratarelevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.

Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory
*only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
