Thanks, Thierry. I wasn't sure how things worked, assuming that this was basically a Qt <==> KDE relationship of dependancies. Instead, I understand you to say that Qt stays independant, yet benefits when KDE is installed. Very cool! > PS: please fix your mailer to not break quotes, it wrongly wrap long > lines. Yeah, sorry about that. I can't fix it because it's ol' brain-dead Outlook Express. Normally I try to avoid/hand-fix those situations, but the quote seemed too pertinent to get rid of (and too big to fix). - John
