And this is a > RC release??? Testing on kspread, kpresent and karbon14 went much better. Ironically, kspread had no problem with the text file that cratered kword. However, there is another wicked little issue with those apps. For some reason they each cause flashes and screen artifacts with my laptop and radeonhd driver. I have been using my laptop near continually for several weeks with arch and the radeonhd driver and the screen/display was never a freaky (for lack of better words) as it was with the koffice apps open. I have closed them to compose this messagee and all is well again. Reality rears its ugly head: KDE3 + KDE4 Runtime Apps = Nothing but trouble.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
