Probably old news but kde 3.3 came out!

Anyone know how houdini and suse9.1 get along with it?

I'm not going to risk it. From what I've heard, though, it seems to run fine for the most part, with some nice new features. I doubt it would affect Houdini adversely.

This time, though, I'm letting someone else try it first…

Cheers,

J.C.

I was thinking the same thing

Curious if it cures that maximize/resize problem….

I'm running KDE 3.3.0 on Gentoo ~x86, and Houdini seems to be working alright, and minimize/maximize seems to work properly.

NTmatter2, can you describe KDE 3.3 setup/update process?
I attempt to update KDE 3.2 to 3.3.
The necessary packages are prescribed in /etc/portage/package.keywords, but errors appear.

What they do indicate and as correct to establish KDE 3.3?

If you're upgrading, you can just do
emerge sync
emerge -DUupv world to see what will be merged, and emerge -DUuv world to do the actual upgrades. Most of the time, this will go without a hitch. Of course, it'll take a rather long time to update everything, which is the nature of Gentoo

Judging by the error you've got, I think that you've either got an outdated version of portage that is having trouble with changes to the structure of the ebuild, or an old ebuild with some bugs in it. Just try the procedure outlined above, and see if anything happens.

Oh… I have minimize/maximize problem with KDE 3.3.0 too
