Final KDE.SlackBuild harness, ready for the upcoming release of Plasma 5.2.0.
All bugs have bee ironed out I hope... Final changes: eigen2: updated to latest version so 'step' can compile. kde-workspace: required to build this, or else kdeartwork won't compile. Frameworks as well as Plasma use /usr/lib{,64} as the libexec directory (not sure if this is the best solution but it solves a lot of path issues). Applications: modified the build order so that KF5 applications are built first (before kde-workspace overwrites part of plasma-workspace). My final package set will not have kde-workspace but if you compile this yourself, your last step needs to be: # removepkg kde-workspace # upgradepkg --reinstall /path/to/plasma-workspace

+- plasmashell crashes a lot, with error message "the x11 connection broke:
+ unsupported extension used (code 2)". I can reliably reproduce this by
+ moving the mouse into any window icon in the task bar (probably because
+ KWin wants to show something of the window contents).
Symptom: the desktop disappears and leaves a black screen. If you happen to
have a konsole window open, you can type "plasmashell" to get the desktop
back and watch the errors when it crashes again.

- What *should* happen is that polkit pops up a window where you can enter
