So that is fixable, but not worth my time in this particular case. BTW the presence of 'gstreamer' in the list is not my choosing: the Gentoo KDE devs -- who are badly overworked -- have not fixed the bug which requires installation of sound pkgs to get KDE 4 to install (Gentoo bug 265864). > in KDE4 there are still the KDE3-style window decorations I used the KDE 3 desktop from early 2005 till early 2009 , but confronted with 4.2.1 checked out alternatives & found Fluxbox 1.1.1 slightly better for what I do than KDE 3.5.10 : Fluxbox is flexible enough, very fast & very easy to configure. My computing is based on desktops with apps running full-screen mostly, so I have no need for plasmoids, widgets, dancing cubes & the rest of it. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
