Ever since the apt-get upgrade that installed KDE 3.1.2, I have had my system locking up. Mouse pointer moves around the screen, but the cursor image remains the same and the mouse doesn't click on anything. Keyboard is unresponsive, and the num lock key does not toggle num-lock on or off. I

over 200 font.cache files and growing.

I just installed sid and kde 3.1.1. I noticed a weird flickering every time I displayed my home directory in konqueror. On a hunch, I selected the show hidden files option and noticed that a ridiclulously large number of font.cache files werebeing created and deleted on an almost constant basi

KMail 1.5 crypto-plugin breaks gpg

Compiling KDE 3.1 on Woody

I am running an install of Woody, and I would like to have KDE 3.1 on my system. I --do not-- want to track testing/unstable to do this. The problem is that the /debian directory of the current snapshots is rather specifically geared towards testing/unstable, making it a pain to create debs fo
