I invoked "kword" (cvsup'ed ~28th of august) from a konsole, while 
starting but not displaying anything graphical yet this happened:

The only reason to write this here is that I doubt this is very useful
for the developer but serves as a good example of the difficulties to
actually make a report. Should it go to the mico (2.2.7 btw.) author?
To you? To bugs? To koffice?
Will it be useful after compiling mico (sigh) with debug support? And/or
koffice?

I do not neccessarily complain, I simply do not use them.
KDE apps have initial advantages of integration into KDE, DND etc.
If the weaknesses still outweigh these I use something else. If a KDE 
app is near, I try to support it by suggestions, patches or bug reports.
What I do not have is time to create a usable kpaint app on my own, let
alone something like xv (est. >>1 manyear).
