It's official, Mandriva 2006.0 does not like KDE

Why do you ask? Well the reason is http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16432, they have a bug in all their Qt/KDE programs that is not present if you use the original Qt library, so they are patching the library to work worse than the original one, great...

Hy,

and i think about not's not realy bad.. KDE is for dayli working oky
and i see on the actuell cooker-kde nor realy a bug as worker.. oky,it's take many Ram for fast running kde-proggys not realy good.. but we dont have a bluescreen *gnhgnhharharhar* the best Tip for Mandriva is.. take the evolution and compile the the newest kde-sources fast and soon for using the best one if we can use.. greetings Blacky

p.s.: At moment.. grate work what you are do at the actual Mandriva-cooker ! Good Work developers ! Have a nice Day and manny fun ;)

Have you checked how many upstream qt bugs *are* fixed by patches Mandriva has on qt? AFAIK, they probably all go upstream.

http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/qt3/

Maybe you would prefer to contribute constructively instead ...

Well, i don't care how many bugs you fix if you introduce new ones the overvall result is bad, i mean, i can stand things that did not work and still do not work, but if something worked i expect it to still work!

That's the reason why people hated kpdf released with KDE 3.4.2 released, i fixed 10 bugs but introduced 2, that sucks and i take my own shame for that.

BTW i do contribute to Mandriva and that's why i have a VIP MandrivaClub account.

Hey alberto, I do think this blog of yours is a) really unfair to Mandriva and b) higly defamatory.
This isn't that serious of a bug, you can still get work done simply by clicking on the button with your mouse. If you couldn't THEN this titled would be justified.
Secondly I use kpdf on 3.4.2 and I like it just fine, now I'm not a hardcore kpdf user (I just use it practically every day to read scientific journal articles and such) but I think it's great bug's notwithstanding.
You fixed 10 bugs and introduced 2, great. I don't see that as a problem unless the bugs you introduced were major. Seeing that I can use kpdf for my day to day acticities that's hardly true.
Same goes for mandriva (and no, i'm not a mandriva user)

Hi
a) Hi hate when people try to be kind and misspell my name, so don't call me Alberto, it is not my name, thanks.
b) it is a serious bug for me, i can use the mouse, but i have to move my hands out of the keyboard to do that and i lose productivity
c) Yes the bugs i introduced where major
c1) TOC is unusable as clicking on [+] crashes bug 110087
c2) Some documents do not open bug 110000
c3) Some documents misrender bug 110199
