I have test KSVG in the demos and in Adobe web site. There's a crash in Adobe 
web site which wildfox is fixing right now..

Gentlemen, it will be at least 4 months until KDE 3.1 will be officialy out. 
Until then, quite a lots of KSVG bugs will be squashed, and ofcourse - if it 
will be included, lots of tests will be performed by users who compile, beta 
testers, etc - so we'll have a very stable KSVG support by the time release.

Remember - for SVG support we have either KSVG or none. Adobe's Mozilla plugin 
does not run under nsplugins in Konqueror (since it's using XPCOM if I 
understood correctly). IMHO I would preffer to have something that works 
which got at the moment few bugs, then nothing.

KDE 3.2 will be out (if at all) only a year from now and it would be a shame 
not to have any SVG support until then.

One more thing if I may: from knowing Niko, I know that he fixes his bugs and 
works on his projects quite extensivly, so I belive that he done (and will) 
an outstanding job regarding KSVG.

Thanks,
Hetz
