Actually, I tried Slack 13.0 and got so frustrated with that version of 
KDE4 that I gave up on it, downloaded 12.2, and have been using that 
version successfully ever since.  Now I am running against a wall with 
security updates (12.2 is now at the bottom of the supported list) and 
my old Firefox (even ebay is now complaining my Firefox is too old).  
Upgrading Firefox requires upgrading my core libraries, which I fear 
would break the system.  So, I am considering upgrading Slackware to the 
latest 14.0, hoping the KDE people fixed the problems in KDE4 that were 
frustrating me back then.  From the feedback I am getting, it sounds 
like they made some major improvements since then and I should not have 
any problems with my legacy apps that I rely upon.
Thanks for the help.
