I just have an answer from Timothy Pearson at the moment, about this subject, on trinity-devel. Trinity is renaming qt3 (to tqt3) and new Trinity code will be able to use qt4 directly in a couple of day.

Yes. http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13#A_42KDE4.x_compatibility_42 The remaining conflicts with KDE4 seem to be only configuration problems (path, environment variables...) that can easily be solved: they are distribution choices. With KDE4 in /opt/kde4 and Trinity in /opt/trinity, we have to put the right directory at the beginning of the path when starting one of these desktop. (Binary suffixes could be another solution, but that isn't the choice made by Trinity Team.) And we have to find a way to avoid conflicts about the KDEHOME variable. There is a summary of possible issues here, in the alinea "Running Trinity, KDE 4, and KDE 3 Concurrently" (on Slackware): http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/sdeg/kde_35x.htm -- Laurent Dard -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
