Live image dependencies: breaking libcanberra-gtk2 dependency
This week the KDE SIG team worked to remove a dependency in libcanberra-gtk2 that pulled in GDM and various GNOME utilities. The dependency was introduced this week and was not included on any KDE live images, but by fixing this by having both GDM and libcanberra-gtk2 own /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/,[1] KDE Live Images are kept about about 30MiB smaller.

KDE 4.3.1 is now available in Fedora Updates. A full list of 4.3.1 changes can be found upstream[1]
