How smooth is the KDE update from the "supplementary branch"?
Hi there, I've never updated KDE from the supplementary branch on the ftp server so far and would like to give it a try, updating KDE 3.1.4 on SuSE 9.0 to 3.3. Do the packages from the supplementary KDE update break anything, e.g. susewathcer?

Since you have a german mail address, I can point you to my documentation. :-) http://www.boerkel.de/linuxtipps.html#mozTocId84547 Thomas

In my experience, the upgrade from supplementary is really smooth. I am already on 3.3.2 on Suse 9.1.

ACK, have it installed now and most stuff works, but GTK/Gnome apps look awkward now, before updating the GTK/Gnome apps used the Geramik theme, now all apps have an oldfashioned GTK1 look, i guess there must have been something broken... any hints? Have you seen this with SuSE 9.1? TIA Malte

I'm trying to figure out exactly what those commands are doing - Anyone care to translate this into English?

It's "anmelden", not "anmelten." It means "new login".

I'm happy to report that following these instructions _finally_ gets my Gnome application appearance under KDE back to what it was without any untoward effects on KDE (applications) itself. Thank you, Thomas! Randall schulz

You're welcome. :-) I derived this from a forum, where it was explained, how you can get a *different* look than Geramik for Gnome apps. There, they commented stuff out in startkde, but looking at that script, I saw that you can accomplish the same by touching ~/.no-qtrc-to-gtkrc-mapping. Thomas

I have done the same here, but for gtk2.0 apps, I choose the "Qt" Gnome theme (/opt/gnome/share/themes/Qt) and whatever theme I use in KDE, Gnome apps get the same look. I use Plastik with the Nuvola iconset and even the button icons (Ok, Cancel, Yes, No) get its matching icons from KDE apps. I haven't done a extensive test, but it has worked for Crystal iconset and other themes as well. Bruno
