I was too optimistic.
I have some problems with Debian 3 and KDE 3, which I downloaded recently
(without doing anything about Qt3, since that seems beyond my scope and I am
not sure it is necessary)
1) I once clicked pppoeconf and since then it is not possible to remove it from
Desktop 1. "Close" brings no reaction whatsoever
2) If I move from KDE (which is on tty7) to, let say tty3 KDe breaks down and I
get the message:
[drm:i910_flush_queue] *ERROR* lockup
repeatedly. After a while I get the logging-window. All this seems to happen
if I am in one of the KDE applications (Konqueror, Kword, etc.) and I leave
that to move to tty3.
3) I cannot set kppp going. I get the message: "kppp
cannot open modem". I tried the help instruction "# chown root:root
$KDEDIR/bin/kppp" but there is no file /bin/kppp
4) I can get online with wvdial. I tried then to set an email account in Opera.
All settings, preferences are apparently correct, I can read webpages in Opera,
but neither get or send e-mails. Preferences tell me: "POP
disconnected, SMTP disconnected". No way to change that, up to now.
Can somebody give me a tip?
Thanks in advance

I think you're not familiar enough to install something like kde3 from
sourcecode, so you should get a packaged version. Put this into your
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian woody main
And then do a apt-get update. After that you can install KDE3 with
apt-get install kdelibs4 kdebase kdenetwork kdepim kdeaddons ...
