I disagree with that. Applying a patch doesn't require any working knowledge of programming. Your second point may be important for some software that needs it. I modified insight a lot, and changed some stuff in metis, yes I do think that you may need to make some changes yourself. However, in KDE's case I really don't think you need to go beyond the usual configure/build/install routine. I've done my share in making sure that KDE3 builds properly by committing a few build fixes. :) Regards, - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comp. Sci.
