Hi,

Well I am not sure about the speed, what cpu do you have there ? :)
It should perform okay for svg icons I guess, it is still too slow for big
svgs.

Keep in mind when compiling ksvg that it depends on libart 2.3.8 which is not
in kdesupport yet. So you have to get a libart package or compile it yourself.

Nice to hear it cooperates well with sodipodi.

>Are there any plans to add svg icons support to KDE 3.1?

Yes, that is planned and well underway AFAIK.

>I am sending two screenshots of Sodipodi & Konqi in action ;-)

I only saw one screenshot, sure did look nice though.

Cheers,

Rob.
