Heh!  Tell me about it!  After a lapse of 8 months, I built trunk in the last
day or two, but I am not trying to run a trunk desktop, just link my apps
and others in kdegames to trunk libraries that will run them.

My favorite bit in "Prerequisites" (which caused me two failed attempts) was
"Since the 26th April 2010, DBusMenu is a new dependency for kdelibs."
The "recipe" did not work first time.  "Troubleshooting" says (baldly), "You
need json to build the tests.  If your version is not correct, you will lose 
the context menu for the systray icons."  Pretty cryptic, eh ... :-)

I took a stab in the dark with a thing called Qjson and the errors went away,
but I really do not like flying by the seat of my pants at my age ... :-)

Cheers, Ian W.
