I know the priority is low, I just want things that have worked in KDE3 since
SuSE 9.2 to keep working in KDE3.
I did find the workaround of downloading and reinstalling the oss version:
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/kdiff3-0.9.92-172.1.x86_64.rpm
The post-install script (or whatever does it) did it's job and nicely restored
KDiff3 to my konqueror context menu.
If we can just fix the linking of KDE3 files to the KDE4 runtime, or at least
warn about the packages where it is done, I think a lot of the problems like
this will go away.
I immediately knew with I manually started kdiff3 and saw that interface that
something wasn't right. There isn't anything more frustrating than updating
something in KDE3 and have KDE4 starring you in the face.
Don't get me wrong, when I did the beta testing of KDE4 on 11.1, I liked some
of what I saw in KDE4. One they get its functionality on par with KDE3, I'm
ready to make the change. However, even simple things like using quanta with
fish to update a web site are still broken in kde4.2.
Thanks you for your help. I don't know how you change the link on KDE:Backports
to point to the old version like it should, but it is really needed. After
that, let me know and I'll try and update kdiff3 again and see if it's fixed.
Thank you again!
