Hi,
these issues should now be resolved thanks to Kai Kang.
It requires to rebuild qt4-native, also it is recommended to use Qt 4.8.0


Currently I'm testing the images, so there hopefully won't be any
build errors on them.
Sysvinit images seem to be a bit tougher, since they fail postinsts for me;
So I can't login on them.


As of now I have a working KDE Plasma Desktop image (based on
Angstrom's systemd image) that runs well on my overo.
If anyone wants to try the image, there is a branch at the git
repository [1] named sst-test-images.

It is planned to have Poky standalone images too,
as well as Plasma Active images for both Poky and Angstrom (after
Plasma Active is working).


Feel free to comment on the images.



Notes:
  The Plasma Desktop image for Poky (see [2]) could work too, but I
didn't try to build it on Poky yet.
  This branch will probably not parse on Poky due to the Angstrom
images (I'm working on it).
