That is the same for me.

Is there a reason why you don't use kdemod3? But okay, that is only the half
of the story because perhaps you have to compile some of the packages which
you use by yourself. I think it is worth to do this because the next big step
in kde4 will not before Jan 2009. This is very long time and kde 3.5.10 will
come out during this year.

Using kdemod3 is easier than to create a own repo but this is again only my
opinion about it.

See you, Attila
