Yes. 2.1.1 SuSE packages, using SuSE here.

No problem. If you're relying on arts that much, it's a matter of
organizing the work between the changes on arts and noatun. If I break
anything in kdelibs formerly, I had to update the applications using it
as well - and in those cases there were literally almost always a dozen
apps to fix, not just one.

I will try this.

Don't get ridiculous :-) You know that I'm catching up things on
literally almost all edges, but I'm *not* paid, neglegting my studies
more than I can afford towards my parents who are giving me money for my
studies and spending up to 10 hours and more a day on KDE. If you can
compete with this, I guess that noatun would be the best media player
around and I wouldn't get bashed on shows. And I don't think this
special crash I have on the playlists that I gave a bt last night to
Number1 and someone else involved wanting to look at it is the real big
thing. There's a buglist as well, you know, and even on IRC there are a
lot of people complaining about bugs.

Just my 2c. You know I don't want to make things personal and let's keep
it this way. It's that we have to increase the quality and I beg you to
fix things up for KDE 2.2. *PLEASE*.
