I just compiled the latest cvs version and the response to keystrokes is
really slow in the editor.. any setting that I need to change to get
rid of this behavior? I'm using Qt 3.0.7 on a Debian ppc machine..

Yes, but beware that wv2 requires libgsf from gtk, which requrires
glib2
I got wv to work.. the conversion from .doc to .tex is good for the
text part but not for the math part. I find that rtf2latex does a much
better job at this since it looks like wv replaces math with
placeholder.eps files
Hi.. I'm getting the following error while trying to compile the latest
