Is there a kde4 version of kaffeine available? k3b is one I wasn't aware of that I thought I'd need to keep kde3 around for, but I use kaffeine an awful lot as well. And significantly more obscure and if it's the only one I can simply use the CLI version, but what about kstreamripper? A kde4 version of that would be nice as well. But... while I have kde-4.2 merged now, I've not yet played with it (I'm hoping to start this weekend, hopefully later today). As customized as I have my 3.x setup, I expect it'll take some time to get 4.x to anything like the same usability, so I expect I'll keep kde3 installed for some time yet, very possibly until 4.3 which I think is another six months out. Meanwhile, if 4.2 is simply usable enough I can actually run it much of the time and /start/ customizing it, if khotkeys, multiple monitors, etc, actually work as they are supposed to in 4.2, it'll be a big change for the better, as 4.1 was simply unusable for me due to that, and 4.0 was even more so. So if I can actually run it well enough to just start the customization, and I can actually get far enough in doing so that it's worth keeping the customizations instead of throwing them away and starting over again with 4.3, I'll be a very happy camper, as it'll be serious progress indeed! So anyway, while having kde4 versions of the above programs will certainly help in the transfer, I expect I'll still have kde3 merged for quite some time, so no big hurry, just yet. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
