tigervnc: updated to 1.3.0. It seems that with this version, and a series of patches, the new vncviewer with the FLTK based graphical interface has finally become equivalent in functionality compared to the old 1.1.0 version.

current/4.11.3/kde/kde-baseapps: Applied a patch for a serious regression in dolphin. Dolphin no longer accepted URLs containing a kio-slave as parameter (like "dolphin trash:/") and would open the Home directory instead. […]
