Hello all!

Has anyone tried to get QT Designer working with Mandrake 8 yet? I've had 2
installations go haywire on me and I can't for the life of me figure out
what is going wrong.

The problem that I'm having is that the properties editor is not showing all
the properties of the form or widgets. For example:

Under Mandrake 7.2, if I do new->widget and look at the properties, there
are 20 properties in the editor with all of the trees collapsed. In Mandrake
8, there are only 2! The lucky two to be included are "tooltip" and
"whatsthis".

I've downloaded the latest designer from Mandrake (2.3.0-5mdk) and the
problem is still there. In fact the only difference that I've been able to
see between this version and the one included with Mandrake 8 is that the
KDE widget theme is observed. While this is a nice feature, it would be more
helpful to have my properties :)

This problem seems to be only for the binaries that Mandrake ships in its
RPMs. I downloaded the raw QT 2.3.0 source code and compiled designer
myself. This worked fine and all of my properties were back. 

I'm confused. All I did to compile designer was a make. What could Mandrake
be doing differently to cause this behavior? Could it be something that I'm
doing somehow?

Any thoughts?

David
