Konstrukt is a great "Makefile system"! I used it to build kde-3.1rc6 (installed it in my home dir). 1. get Konstruct (either tar-ball or from cvs). 2. read <konstrukt-dir>/README first ;-), especially the "Configuration" part 3. Edit <konstrukt-dir>/gar.conf.mk 4. cd <konstrukt-dir>/meta/kde 5. make install That will compile and install kde (be patient). Or do: 4. cd <konstrukt-dir>/meta/everything 5. make install That will compile and install _everything_ (be even more patient). If kdelibs and kdebase are installed, you already can start kde-3.1 (I'm not sure, but be prepared for a hick-up ;P logout & login in that case). Cheers, Leen

Thanks for your reply Leen, Sounds fun, good to know you had good experiences w/ it. I especially like that it installs to the home directory ! See ya -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

So did I. Only disadvantage: can't login with new kdm, for that you have to replace /opt/kde3 in some way. The trick I used in with some kde2 versions was symlinking: # mv /opt/kde3 /opt/kde3.orig # ln -s /path_to_new_kde3 /opt/kde3 Get the original kde3 back with: # rm /opt/kde3 # mv /opt/kde3.orig /opt/kde3 Cheers, Leen

Thanks, I'm sure you just saved me a bit of head scratching. I often think this list and suse-linux-e are SuSE's most valuable features. -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Wouldn't it be sufficient to add a new session called "kde3" in the login manager. That solved it for me at least. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
The headline is not very helpful but I don't know how to express this better. I am in Mozilla (for example) and in Screen 1 of the 4 virtual screens shown at the bottom. When I move the mouse off the top or left side of the screen, KDE automatically switches to another of the 4 screens. This hides everything that I have been doing until I go back to screen 1 again, or until I click on an icon at the bottom to restore a program in screen 1. How do I stop this behaviour? If I wish to change from screen 1 to screen 2, I wish to do it explicitly by clicking something and not have it happen automatically. One man's feature is another man's bug. Thank you -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html
Dear Andrew, You may disable this by going to your Menu/preferences/Look and Feel/Window Behaviour and in this window click on the Advanced Tab. Here check if you have the Active Desktop Borders enabled and if so, please disable that and enjoy. Regards, ABHIJIT NAIK On Sat, 15 Mar 2003, Andrew Williams wrote:
