I noticed that this head thing is corrected in the 1.1.3 ebuild, how come its not fixed in 1.1.4? Couldn't this be tested before being merged into the portage tree?

Because KDE was *supposed* to have this issue fixed upstream, but they missed 
it. 
 
And since the "head -1" problem only breaks on some users machines (I am not 
one of them) it doesn't get noticed by everyone.  This is why it's still 
marked ~x86 - to find problems like this. 
 
Anyway, I readded this fix to the ebuild.
