   Visiting the Gentoo-KDE channel at freenode gave the impression that there are   
   issues with packages, which makes that we don't have a later version in the   
   portage, but you can always use layman to add the kde overlay if you want test   
   latest kde4 ebuilds. There is issues to use the kdeprefix option and if you   
   install kde4 without it, you can't use kde3 and you may have issues after you   
   uninstalled kde4.

   I tried 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 and I have to say it was far from what I had expected,   
   nowhere near the number of features in kde3.5, no support for multiple X (not   
   talking about twinview), and instead of taking honor to system wide settings,   
   kde4 overrides and sets settings that they think you should use instead.   
      
   Just keep on using kde3 and wait for kde5, maybe then they have learned to   
   listen to the users needs instead of the stupid copy OSX ideas from the   
   kubuntu crew and make useful features instead of stupid effects like snow.
