Ian's point was (I guess) that _any_ lirbrary which belongs to the public API of KDE cannot be allowed to break binary compatability and that the respective maintainer should be asked to revert the change. > so one version of kde is coherent. but running bits of 3.4 on top of 3.3 > libs may break. This way around is not guranteed, an application built agains 3.3 should be able to run on 3.4, of course applications using the 3.4 API might not work using 3.3 > OTOH, I'm not sure kde guys would like to help us that much... I fear Hint: Ian _is_ one of the "kde guys" ;-) Cheers, Kevin
