From blogs:
- Fix bug to install plasma applets [1]
- Martin Grässlin was talking about a fix to allow dynamic updating of KWin 
driver blacklists when problems are found [2] Not sure if that made it

KDE enthusiasts (who love any KDE news), 3rd party packagers such as distros 
and people who are hit by fixed bugs - either of the fixes above could alleviate 
a lot of annoyance for some people.

So we could have (to be improved...)

"KDE's September* Updates Increase Access to Community Plasma Widgets"

"KDE's September* Updates Provide More Stable Composited Desktop

*October?

*If* we think that is the way to structure our release announcement titles for 
the minor releases.
