It is a QT bug, not a KDE bug. There was a revision (the final one) to libqt that turned anti-aliasing on by default that caused problems when the render extension was missing. This prevents qt apps from running in virtual sewssions like vnc and on video cards that do not support render. I recompilked the qt3 without that patch and it solved the problem for me. If you want to try the rpms, get them from here http://cybercfo.gkmweb.com/rpms To install, you will have to ude the --nodeps and --oldpackage flags. Put all the rpms in one directory and rpm -Uvh * --nodeps --oldpackage --oldpackage because it is a downgrade and --nodeps because I have an nvidia card and you will get the bogus libglcore dependency error. I did not apply the fix to strip that dependency error because I was in cooker testing mode at the time. -- Greg
