But, I'm setting here wondering if you could get a better build for Squeeze if you used the kde3 sources from Debian Lenny and compiled them for Squeeze ? Is it possible ?
KDE3 for Debian Lenny has some unresoved issues with multiheaded setups. One would have to go with the sources from the last snapshot of testing(e.g. that contined KDE3 - and that was 28 Mar 2009 ...
That's one bug. There are several new bugs in Trinity relative to Lenny, so I think JJ may have a good idea. OTOH, Trinity has some new features (e.g. randr) relative to Lenny KDE3.5, and Tim has done a lot of work to avoid conflicts between Trinity and KDE SC4 packaging.
I don't know if Tim's work is such that his new features and bugfixes can be easily cherry-picked and applied to Lenny KDE3.5.
KDE 3.5: 9/10 Trinity: 8/10 KDE 4.4: 2/10
These regressions may well be because Trinity was based on Ubuntu rather than Debian.
