I determined that the malfunction is being caused by the patch: "kubuntu_09_flickerfree_qiconview.dpatch" (see Bug 209227).
As a matter of fact, the library file libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 obtained by compiling the source package qt-x11-free_3.3.8-b-0ubuntu3 *without* applying that patch works correctly with showimg; the one obtained with that patch applied (default) shows the malfunction. IMHO the patch should be either revised and corrected or removed in a future update (or maybe showimg should be patched to work correctly with the current library). -- showimg malfunction in Kubuntu Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to qt-x11-free in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
