If you mean KDE failures on X11 beta 1, it's pretty likely that they were caused by bugs of X11. More specifically, your comment reminds me of a beta 1's bug related to color depth. KDE apps crashed on the 16 bit (thousands) color mode, whereas they run smoothly on the 24 bit (millions) color mode. X11 beta 2 fixed this problem.

Cheers,

Hello,

I'd like to report some success installing and using the latest KDE
packages. I installed karm, korganizer, and kaddressbook to use them as
standalone applications (without the rest of the KDE experience).

In my previous attempt at this, the applications would compile and
launch, and then crash when I accessed the menus. This time I'm not
having this problem. I'm using them with the new Apple .2 X11 server.

I don't think I had to do any significant tweaking in the compile
process. It went smoothly. It was mostly:

$ sudo fink selfupdate-cvs
$ sudo fink install karm korganizer kaddressbook

My KDE package versions I'm using are below.

The applications seem more responsive now as well. It seems like they
used to be sort sluggish to respond. Now they are snappy, about the same
as running the same applications in "normal" Linux X environment.

Mark
