Yes, it set my user uid to 0, but also removed the login shell, and set all the
password expiry information to 0 (should be -1 for domestic use). It took me a
while to figure out what was going on and reset everything!

Yes, sounds like you were lucky!

I've found kde to be generally pretty good, but they do get some strange
hiccups occasionally. kuser in 3.3 wouldn't set passwords correctly, though
everything else seems to work, 3.3 would also refuse to release cds or dvds
for ejection even though you'd unmounted them (lsof and kill are your friends
here!) and arts can be a complete pain in the rear! 3.4 has fixed some of the
bugs (cds eject ok now!) but arts is still picky, and kuser best avoided
altogether! So far everything else seems fine.

As usual with bugs, they're only a problem when you don't know about them!
