To be clear: you can't combine libs of the 2.x series. Either all your apps use 2.1 libs or all your apps use 2.2 libs, you can't mix. Getting KDE 2.x running besides KDE 3.x will be a daunting task. It will put additional constraints on what we may change in KDE 3.x and I don't like that at all. I'm inclined to say that we shouldn't support KDE 2.x running in parallel with KDE 3.x at all. Yes, I know that sucks. Cheers, Waldo -- bastian@kde.org | SuSE Labs KDE Developer | bastian@suse.com >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
