Hi!
I am about to install openSUSE 12.1 on a laptop. I want to use it mainly (or entirely) with the KDE3 desktop but I still want to be able to run KDE4 applications under KDE3. In the past, I have done this with openSUSE 11.3 and 11.4. During installation of 11.3 and 11.4, I selected KDE4 as the default desktop. Then I added the KDE:KDE3 repository and installed all the packages to properly run KDE3 following more or less the recommendations given here:
HOW-TO: KDE 3.5 on 11.4
This has worked perfectly and I was even able to use the oxygen theme in KDE3. For example, okular and vlc came with the nice oxygen theme even when running under KDE3.
My question is: Is this procedure going to work also with openSUSE 12.1 or is there anything in particular I have to pay attention to?
Thanks!

Here is what I do each time : * install with LXDE, XFCE or whatever, but NOT KDE4 * add KDE3 repositories and kde3 rpms * edit files : /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager : DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3" /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager : DEFAULT_WM="startkde3" * logout, chose kde3 desktop at password prompt programs look-and-feel are kde3 or kde4, it depends... For example, I have just checked : * vlc is kde4 * kwrite is kde3. Most are kde3, hopefully :) Dsant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
