FWIW that is much cleaner than I get on SuSE KDE.
Thanks for the report, I haven't installed from CPAN for a while 
(my local copy always being to hand.)

The fails seem to be window manager related - which ones are you using?

That said there are still quite a few tests which "normally fail" 
for some combination of locale, available fonts and window manager.
This could do with more tuning,

I don't think so.
