Has it been changed to an independent program? Or is this Krita different program altogether? There are lots of problems with KDE 4, to the point that longtime KDE users like myself have switched to XFCE4 instead. I still have Krita on my computer and can call it from XFCE4. There are multiple problems with KDE4, but the forced integration of programs is at the root of most of it. The excellent HTML editor Quanta Plus has been dropped and another product, a generalized IDE, given the same name. Not every tool needs to be part of a Swiss Army knife style conglomeration. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
