If you don't report why it doesn't compile, I can't help you.

How do you know ????
What's the problem with you ?
You moan all the time from the beginning, and when I suggest
you post something constructive, you say "no" ?

I'm losing quite a lot of time answering you on this thread,
and see nothing but bad attitude while I'm trying to help you.

Ok, then. Go to hell.

That will change with the new kparts Simon is working on.
But kview/kdvi/kghostview are already very general IMO.

You'll look at the window menu in konqueror when you get it to work.

I see your point.
The problem is if sharing bookmarks (e.g. with kfile, or the dead kohtml, ...)
But ok, they could skip the view-profile information.
You see, you can have constructive ideas sometimes :-)
