No, I'm certainly not using it because I've X verxsion 3.x (I think it
doesn't support antialiasing, does it?). Hmm, do you think upgrading to
2.3.1 would also help in this case? The strange thing is that it worked with
older koffice versions, but as I haven't recompiled it very often I cannot
really say when the breakage came ... at the beginning of June, it was still
ok, I think.

Hmm, that's right. Aargh, I find myself wasting your time too often by
stupid ideas ;). Comes from my great stress ... come home, test koffice for
half an hour, hurry away :(
