The best place to ask KDE3 questions is -desktop mailing list. The people that are working on KDE3 are regulars there. I only mention because you may not know since it not written anywhere that I am aware of. I'd ask there and see what they say. If they have plans, I'm sure they can explain the options better. It may take a day or so to get a reply depending on who is there and when. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
