Hey  Brandon,

Are you by chance using a non-english version of Kivio?

Hi,
I have been trying to get Kivio working now for a few weeks with no luck.
The basic synopsis is that the connector tool in Kivio is not working at
all.=20=20

I usually download koffice from cvs and compile it myself.  Everything
compiles fine with no errors, installs fine, and runs fine -- except Kivio's
connector tool.  I have tried this on multiple systems and every one has the
same result.=20=20

Here is some basic points:

- My system is Slackware >=3D7.1, XFree86 4.02, QT 2.30 (compiled myself wi=
th
xft), KDE 2.11 (also compiled myself), Perl 5.6, Python (1.5 and 2.1),
Koffice >=3D beta1, anything I'm missing?

- I have tried several versions of koffice, usually downloaded from cvs.
The latest one I tried was just a few days ago, I think on 4-20.

- All of KOffice compiles fine.  No fatal warnings or errors that I seen.
Everything installs fine.  Kivio starts right up just fine (nice v1.0
graphic too).=20=20


- Once in Kivio when I select the 'Connector Tool' the only message I get
(when watching from the console) is:
 > kivio: ConnectorTool activate
 > QPixmap::convertToImage: Connot convert a null pixmap
 > QPixmap::convertFromImage: Connot convert a null image
 > QPixmap::convertFromImage: Connot convert a null image
The null image message doesn't seem to be a problem.  It shows that several
times while the program is starting up.


- Some of the older versions of Kivio worked fine (so yes, I know what the
connector tool is and that I have to use it to connect objects :) - just the
last few releases seem to be broken.

I have tried installing Koffice on several systems, some clean/new, some
old.  A friend of mine tried it on his system and had the exact same results
too.

Any thoughts?  What am I doing right/wrong?=20=20
I would love to start using Kivio if I could just connect objects!
