High guys. This may have been spelled out somewhere, but if so I
missed it, so please bear with me.
I've been a KDE user since 1.x which was part of SuSE v5.3. Up till
KDE4, I was always found KDE to do what I needed.
I have some questions about the future direction of KDE3:
1. Qt4 port - I saw that this is one the roadmap. Is this really
neccessary? I know that a lot of my complaints about KDE4 was the
useless revamp of the interface, but having to have both Qt3/4 libs
was also a huge pain. I'm not against a port if there are compelling
reasons for it, but I have seen no compelling reason for KDE4. It
uses more memory and space.
I have a lot of older laptops that I find KDE3 to be snappy and KDE4
to be like molassas.
2. What about the other KDE projects like KOffice? I've always made
use of KOffice instead of anything else. I find OpenOffice to be
bloated.
3. Removal of HAL in favor of udev - Is this something that is going
to affect KDE3?
4. Dependencies - I'm not sure how it is on other distros, but I've
always found SuSE/openSUSE to suffer from unneccessary dependencies.
Not everyone has a Palmpilot device, and most PIMs assume you do and
force you to install support for something you don't have. I'm not
sure how the core KDE and the other projects handle this. How is
Trinity planning to do it?
5. XOrg and KDE3 - on openSUSE 11.3, I can't setup my displays
because openSUSE removed it's config program SaX2 and I can't get XOrg
to work with my displays. Works fine in openSUSE 11.0/KDE3 because I
have SaX2. Is there an alternative for configuring displays?
Sorry if some of this is a repeat. I'm new to the list, but a
longtime KDE user.
Thanx
I just installed Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) on my laptop. I wanted to go with
the latest, but I also wanted to replace KDE with Trinity..
is this possible, and if so, where do I start?

There
is an environment project work done by Brazilians, called SPT (Techisa
Desktop Environment) and is also built using QT3.
However, the project is currently inactive.
I wish you the code offered by aproveitasseo Techisa
Desktop Environment, after all its free software.
Incidentally, I want to highlight a feature that I
found this great working environment in Brazil: the possibility of
application launchers monitor its implementation through the menu of
right mouse button on the launcher.
Another interesting feature is the window manager, which
supports many themes that are not supported by Kwin. Who knows SPT-WM may become the next manager of
Trinity windows Desktop Environment? Besides
supporting more themes, SPT-WM is lighter than KWin.
I wish I could see the code being reused Techisa
Desktop Environment by this team.

amarok-trinity depends on libnjb5 (why?)
As does gnomad2, although it was removed from squeeze (lenny version
works fine here on squeeze) Maybe they will remove libnjb5.
For anyone getting aggravated by many lines of sysfs error messages on
boot it is because:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libnjb5;dist=unstable#_0_3…
A quick fix (as root):
sed -i 's|SYSFS|ATTR|'g /etc/udev/libnjb.rules
Hello,
is there a simple way to get the three view mode buttons back? The patch in
comment #15 ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/43949 ) used
to work in Kubuntu, but doesn't work on TDE 3.5.12.
Thanks to everyone working on Trinity.
Hi,
I installed Trinity on Ubuntu 10.10 all the KDE 3 apps doesn't show
Sinhalese letters(instead it shows squares) there are fonts installed
in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. It doesn't show the correct characters
even when the font is forced. A friend said that openSUSE KDE shows
Sinhalese characters correctly, is there a package that I should
upgrade?

Hello list,
recently I upgraded to maverick and suddenly experienced problems with DCOP commands which worked always fine under intrepid, jaunty, lucid, and karmic.
It seems that the QString support has been removed from DCOP in maverick.
When I call
dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession 'cd /'
in a console I get the message
cannot handle datatype 'QString'
The 'cd /' command is of course not executed in yakuake. Moreover it seems that all DCOP functions that take any QString as parameter or return a QStrings are affected by this issue.
In other words: yakuake (and maybe also some other programs) cannot be remotely controlled anymore which is a pitty because I used the remote controlling functionality daily. I used to press F2 in the krusader to open a yakuake session in the current directory, but this does not work anymore.
Did someone else experience this problem?
Does anybody know how it can be fixed?
Regards,
Stefan
Hello, list!
Question is in subj of the message.
Because as for me all (i mean, all, not only kde4) qt4 apps are much
slower then they were on qt3. So, what are advantages of migration?
