pogma on IRC (the author of the libdl compatibility library for OSX) just found the problem with the missing static symbols in kdemultimedia. The workaround is a small change to dlcompat to do a symbol lookup on each dependent library, to force dyld into noticing the libraries.
It appears that the kdemultimedia problem is fixed!
As soon as that dlcompat code is available, I'm basically set, and just waiting on the KDE folks to finalize 3.1.
ROCK ON!
