All distro do not have the bleeding edge QT4 or

In that case, is TDE supposed to provide QT 4.7 (or newer) and the
latest kdelibs just to provide the latest kwin ? I don't think so.
I highly
recommend to not use KWin 4.3 anymore. And RHEL or SLES are very bad
examples. Users of those want the old versions and do neither want to install
a recent version of KDE software nor of TDE software. They use the old system
because of the provided security by RedHat or SUSE. Installing anything third
party invalidates the reason to use RHEL/SLES in the first place.
Well, in fact, I'm using RHEL at work (I've not chosen to, It was
already there).
Some day I opened a support case to indicate that the KDE4 they provided
did not work as expected, whereas KDE3 had no problem in previous RHEL
releases.
The only answer I got from RH was "would you mind switching to gnome ?".
The funny thing is that, if they had solved my KDE4 problem, I would
never have built TDE for RHEL :-)
The TDE community can thank the RHEL tech support.
kwin 4.3 does not use anything of Nepomuk. That
indirect and optional
runtime (!) dependency got added around 4.7. Cheers Martin
Okay, nepomuk was just
an example, I do not know what Kwin 4.3 requires
exactly to run.
My wish is that we could install a kwin4 version on every distro, that
would NOT require a QT4 upgrade and/or lots of unwanted KDE4 stuff .
My guess is that kwin 4.9 will not build against older qt4/kde4.
That's why I suggested to stick with the distribution-provided Kwin
version, modifying just the small parts that we want.
If I'm wrong and that there is a way to build Kwin 4.9 on older
QT4/KDE4, I would of course prefer using Kwin 4.9 .
