Thanks for the reply ! -- I just want to go on using 2 apps -- Kmahjongg, which lacks a removed-tiles display in KDE 4 , & Kworldclock, which is useful for quickly finding local times, -- & had them working on my older machine, which I moved out of September. The real solution for me is to get KDE to add these features to 4.x.x with the latter added to the new Marble app: I sent in bugs long ago & plan to resubmit them & see if such prods produce results. I have subscribed to the Trinity mailing-lists, but they are obviously very short-handed & unlikely to support Gentoo; it mb possible to compile the essentials from source into /opt/trinity/ . Please feel enouraged to get Trinity working here (big smile): there are clearly some people who want to go on using a version of KDE 3 , tho' I'm happily at home these days generally with Fluxbox + KDE 4 apps. Anyone else have comments ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
