Most everything should work well now. Enjoy it. tia I noticed the new KDE2.2 packages in the testing tree. Currently I'm running testing with the unstable KDE packages, thanks to plenty of help getting the two to co-operate on my system. I was hoping that with KDE2.2 finally starting to migrate into testing to remove the unstable references in my sources.list and stay sync'd with testing. Does anyone know if this could lead to problems, or can apt keep things straight for me? I have not done a proper dist-upgrade since I suceeded in getting the unstable packages to install because my system now wants to install many non-kde related packages from unstable, hence my desire to return to a pure testing platform as soon as the archives catch up with what I currently have from unstable now. Thanks again for all the work and effort that everyone has put into packaging KDE for Debian and all the help with my preferences and sources.list to getting KDE2.2.1 running for me in the first place! Cheers, John Gay
KStyle breakage
Sort of... I am trying to compile KDE Styles such as the .NET style under the KDE CVS. The compiler says it can't find files like kstyle.h and kdethemestyle.h. Do I not have my includes setup right? What do I need to do in order to get this working? Thank you! - Josh

Upgraded to 2.2 - mail now broken
Being a complete coward, I waited on my 2.2 upgrade until it appeared in testing. Yesterday, I joyously upgraded and sat back to enjoy the wonders that I had been hearing about on this list. Unfortunately my mail (in kmail) seems now to be broken. All new mail is reported as No Subject Unknown Wed Dec 31 15:59:59 1969 Is this a known problem ? Have I done something stupid ? - Derek

Re: Upgraded to 2.2 - mail now broken
Hello, I had upgrade my kde to 2.2 from unstable something like 4 weeks ago. At the beggining I had the very same problem as you (some, apparently randomly, e-mails appeared not to have headers). The reason was that kmail wasn't upgraded. Everything worked fine after I upgraded kmail (I didn't delete any index files). Maybe you will have to wait till the new kmail (2.2.1) appears in testing. Best regards, Paulo Yup, pulling kmail plus associated dependencies from unstable seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks. I'd better go get breakfast now ... :) - Derek
Re: Secret Feature
Hi, This is cool. Especially since it works with other KDE apps, including the one I wrote myself. Yey! (Then again, I think they didn't tell anybody because it might not work properly yet. I dunno.) Makes sense, because, it doesn't seem to be saved over sessions. Ie, you settings get lost when quitting the app. Ciao, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/ pgpvD2hpxvLRM.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think we have to wait several more days before the rest of kde will come in from unstable (last I read here). BTW, I ended up completely wacking the .kde directory after backup and removing *all* kde stuff and trying over... Finally, I recieved word that it was broken for testing and switched to blackbox. I never deleted any of my index files and kept my ~/Mail directory intacted locally. Still, *always* very good idea to backup stuff. Good luck to you.
