Gentemen, Some time ago (just after Leopard came out) the below discussion took place on this list regarding CoreFoundation and how changes in Leopard impact some application. I've been able to google the discussion, but I haven't seen if there is any resolution. I have the same symptoms, particularly when running startkde
I'm able to get kde up and running more or less by running /sw/bin/kicker, but a lot doesn't function -- such as sound -- the way it did under Tiger. Any ideas? Or am I just pretty much out of luck for now?

The maintainer has mentioned having severe time constraints for doing Fink stuff, and he is right now involved with getting the online package database back up and running. After that there is a major GNOME update, and then he will have time for his own packages. - -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
