Hm, I have a fully ported kdelibs on my harddisk, and KOffice as well.
Everything works fine, except the mediator stuff. Althought I copied it
from micod I can't get it work here. This includes embedding in Konqueror
and the KOffice Trader.
--> Everything works absolutely fine except for the KOffice Trader (and
therefore embedding in KOffice) and embedding in Konqy. Another problem
was an IDL compiler bug with inout arguments, just like in the KOffice
Filter interface, but I fixed it manually and disabled code generation of
koffice.* .

So I'd love to switch to new mico, but someone has to fix the mediator
stuff to get a functional IMR. Perhaps you (Steffen) are able to do this
and include it in your kded on-the-fly? :-)
(but then the KOffice Trader seems to need additional fixes as well, I
think, but I'm no (KOffice) Trader expert :) ) . Hm, where is Torben?


Ciao,
