Patrick,
I was able to install openSUSE 12.2 with KDE3 on a DELL laptop. Everything was working including suspend, hibernate, sound, kpowersave (after fixing a little issue with hal), etc. I have not tried just let it run for a long period of time and I don't use kmail. But maybe I can try to see whether I can replicate the issues that you see.

Hi Patrick,
This is interesting. I run KDE3 under opensuse 11.3 x86_64 and the taskbar never disappears (my uptime is over 90 days). Is this a problem related to 12.x? Just a curiosity: have you tried LXDE? Not so powerful as KDE3 but lightweight and you can still run KDE3 (and KDE4) applications under LXDE. Of course, I would miss my nice KDE3 desktop and its capabilities.
Thanks,
Gianluca
----------------------------------------------------- Hi Gianluca, hi all,
I was running Oss 11.1 + KDE3 before the Oss 12.2, and changed because of a new mother board (-: equiped with a 8 cores processor waiting at 3 GHz my 1 Hz key typing!) and did not have such problem with it. Anyway I live with my 12.2! It appends much less than once per day, now. You must take care of my observations, because I'm not so sure: I spent a lot of time trying others systems and others windows managers, and having difficulties with them, too. I had terrible difficulties with Grub, too, because this bord has IDE and SATA, with two disks on eatch? And I saw with big interest that KDE3 applications were running with Xfce (but not KMail ?).
I gaveup with 12.3 because of it's uncapability to start X correctly more than two consecutive times (?! this is my interpretation of the miss function). Today, with Oss 12.2, the sound system fails sometime too, but with one sound: for exemple, a bug is displayed when the sound of an alert window should be played, and then this sound will not be played again untill I restart the cession, but the sound related to the openning of a modal dialog (or other sounds) are still played correctly.
I was thinking that the windows managers are tested with systems hosted by an other one (that could be Windows!), and that's why there are a lot of bugs XWindow or sound related that are ignored by the devloppers!

The big problem is that in any suse higher than 11.4, kmail loses track of the UIDL (unique id list), sometimes it even spits out the message that the pop-server does not support the UIDL command, the result always ends up being duplicate messages, eventually a full download of the server mail everytime kmail checks mail... I have never had that issue with pre -12 versions. The work around fix would be to remove downloaded messages from the server, but there are reasons that prohibit that for these accounts.

Hi kanenas, and thank to both of you, That's what I observed. So a simple solution to reduce the probability of such miss understanding is… to switch KMail off! I did not and will not say that the task bar disapearing and the sound(s) problem was related to KMail. Further more, I wonder if the task bar did not disapeare sometime with Oss 11.1. I can realy live with these little problems. The life is so nice for me now that I have a "not too old" system I well know and unsderstand (I was using 10.3 and started 11.1 at a time it was allready obselate). It was so hard to reach this state, because of KDE4, system V init, X, grub… I can continue working today the way I like! I am not surprised at all that some of KDE3 users dont have problem with Oss 12.3, because I beleave that the problem comes from BOTH Xwindow AND the bios, because there were random memdumps (looking like hexdump) at boot time, and the length of these dumps were different from one cold reset to another. I thank you for your offer, Gianluca, but if you want to do something, do it with the objective of helping the KDE3 developpers team, and dont worry for me.
