great news. but I hate having to wait till 2am-8am happy hours to download the updates

any significant changes from KDE 4.2.2?
will I have to download whole 400 odd MB for monthly update?

^^If you don't like downloading updates stick to Xfce 4.6.
I use it with Conky and I think its a complete DE and has great stability and features.
You get a new version released every 2 years, and yearly around 2 updates.

Refer *www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_2_2to4_2_3.php

After viewing the changes , I would think the answer is yes, its going to be a considerable download. Whether its worth it or not is another question. Review the changes, if you are happy sure download it
