Hi, Having seen this message, I thought I would try it. I understand it is not very nice to try to contradict my fellow editors, but testing deps is something I can do with the jhalfs extension to BLFS. It is not a build from scratch: I took a virtual machine with already all the dependencies for gnumeric (build and runtime deps), which makes a lot (X system+twm, gtk3 and deps, dconf, and quite a few others, but neither Qt nor sound, except alsa-libs), and all the dependencies for all the programming languages in the programming chapter. The automated system extracts scripts and builds all the recommended packages, and considers all the apps in the KDE Core chapter as recommended (in book order). The resulting system works OK for me, AFAICT (window resizing, editing settings). I have not tested using Konsole in a non KDE environment. KDM does not list any user: I have to type my username in the login window. Of course, I use the default configuration. I know it is not very interesting to tell "it works for me", but I thought I would report it FWIW.
