Hello, all. I wish I had more specific data to report but I've just had
a very problematic upgrade on Debian Squeeze although it also has a
number of packages installed from Wheezy. I'm not even sure which
Trinity I was running beforehand - 12 or 13.
I do know that, after the upgrade, I could not boot into a GUI -
automatically or manually. For some reason, important packages were
missing, viz., kdm-trinity, ksmserver-trinity,
network-manager-kde-trinity, and a pile of their dependencies. The base
Trinity packages were installed. Very strange but very painful. Again,
I wish I had more specific details to report. Sorry - John

Hello, all. I've not been following the list closely for some time
because of other responsibilities but the above caught my eye especially
as I continually see references to TQT when working in KDevelop on
Trinity.
Is TQT a fork of Qt3 as Trinity is a fork of KDE3? If so, is there a
licensing issue for Windows TQT applications? Thanks - John
Hi everyone!
This week I've been playing with DraftSight both on Linux and on Windows.
DraftSight is a Qt4 CAD drawing program that is very similar to AutoCad and it is available for free both for Windows and for Linux.
I used DraftSight for many months on Linux on my Core 2 Duo with 2gb of RAM computer and it is sluggish. Each time that I select a part of the drawing to modify an attribute there is a 5-10 second delay before the program unfreeze.
On my Windows-only laptop that I use mainly for running industrial automation software, I have installed DraftSight this week. This laptop is an old IBM ThinkPad A31p with a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 cpu and 512mb of RAM. It runs Windows XP. On this laptop, DraftSight runs perfectly well and there is no delay when I click on a part of a drawing, even if it is a much slower computer and the general performance of DraftSight is much better on Windows.
Is there a reason why I see such a big difference between this Qt4 program on Linux and on Windows? Does the difference is because of Qt4 or it could be because DraftSight has not been ported as well as it could be?
Qt3 has a very high performance and on a slow computer, it is even faster than GTK2. The UI element are drawn faster than almost every other GUI toolkits. Why does QT4 still suffer from these performance issues?
Have an happy spring break!

When I try to open khelpcenter a terminal emulator the following appears:
QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qtrc'
QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
The upshot is that I cannot create an khelpcenter index. Is there a fix?

Using Kmail 1.9.10 on Trinity 3.5.13.2, how do I select emails of a certain
status? E.G for action or important etc.. There used to be bar at the top
right where one could chose from a drop-down menu.
Thanks.

I'm trying to build a tool called glogg, which requires qmake, but I can't
figure out which package provides it. I tried YaST, searching in Names,
Keywords, Summary, Description, RPM Requires, RPM Provides and File List, and
installed qconf and qt3-devel, but so far haven't found it.
Help??
