K3wl. That way neither the calendar nor the address book will work. The
difference matters if you want to carry over the way you configured KDE
applications.

He didn't say that it can't be discussed here. But if you want the
developers to make changes, you need to go through the channels that
they've created.

It's a part of kdebase4-openSUSE on my 11.2/KDE4.3.5 system. As to how
well it works, I don't know. I don't know if it was available on 11.1
when I did a fresh install keeping a /home from 10.3, although it may
have been. I don't recall seeing it run when I upgraded from 11.1 to
11.2, although that may be because I was already using KDE4.


Regards,
David Bolt

Yes ;-)

There are areas where we agree and areas where we disagree. I disagree
strongly with your character of Unix as even conforming to the principle
of least astonishment, much less as having originated it.

As for KDE3 versus KDE4, I agree only partially. I believe that there
should have been a migration tool ab initio, but I don't agree that major
changes in the UI are automatically wrong.

Well, that's narrower than copying all of ~/.kde, but I'd really like to
know which are actually necessary. I've also seen some articles about
kde4-migrate; is that out yet andhow well does it work?

Thanks.
