Hello,
I am using the default kde packages from debian sarge on x86 (kde
2.2.2-5).
(libqt2 => qt 2.3.1)
I also have X setup to use TTF. I know my TTF setup works -- all

It's not a question of whether it supports AA or not, its whether it uses the

Apparently KDE3 and famd (file alteration monitor daemon) don't play
nicely together. There's a bug already filed against famd. famd hogs
the CPU, possilby polling for changes. I'm using Linux 2.4.19 and there
famd is supposed to use the resource-saving dnotify method for

Great, this looks awesome. Thanks! It will be very cool to have complete,
internationalised menus in Debian.

The cause and the correction to my recent browser rendering woes is on
display today at The Register.

techniques are probably applicable to other window mana

After reading the discussion list recently, I'm
concerned we'll be wasting our time trying to
convice others of our opinions. So, here's my two

Thanks for the reply. I have all of those packages so thanks for them as well
:) The question remains though, what happened to "archive web page" etc.

I run Debian unstable with KDE 3.1b2 from shakti.cx and upgrade nightly.
I can look at a web page (say www.slashdot.org) in Konqueror side-by-side
with Galeon, and the output from Konqueror is a poor comparison to the
output of the Mozilla engine. Is this a byproduct of the
