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. Gianluca On Sat, 20 Jul 2013, Patrick Serru wrote:

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!
