I mean that kmail-3.5.8 does not work in a kde-4 session, but kontact-3.5.8 does work, and launches kmail correctly. In other news, kde4 took a little nibble on my babies in a few other respects, as opposed to full-on eating them: I created a separate user to test kde4 with, but did not notice in time that the PATH had been updated to place /usr/kde4 earlier than /usr/kde3.5. I've since changed it back but did run kde apps using my regular account meanwhile: I used to have a ~/kde symlink to ~/kde3.5. This is now gone and replaced with a ~/kde directory, apparently a snapshot of the original. Some of my configs are changed - my Transport setting in Kmail were gone (I had a backup), and the Go menu in Konqueror now only displays History and Most Often Visited items. My mail folders now appear to be out of sync, there are updates in ~/kde and in ~/kde3.5 dated after I changed things back. No further detail yet, it'll take a while to scan everythign and see where the changes are. Meanwhile I have work to do :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
