Guys, Just dropping a note on the build and install of libpng12 and libjpeg6 from AUR to fix the problem I had with the kdemod3 install on my new arch box. After installing the two packages, kde3 seems to be 100% healthy. Immediately, all icons and graphic handling returned just like you would expect. Now if I could just figure out how to create a kde3 menu item in the kdm greeter, it would be perfect. Currently, I have to drop to tty1, kill kdm and then use startx with /opt/kde/bin/startkde specified in my ~/.xinitrc file to get kde3 started. How does one create a desktop entry in the kdm greeter scheme so I can launch kde3 from there? It can't be that hard, I have pekwm, blackbox, openbox and fluxbox and gnome entries in there along with kde4, but I don't know where the "magic switch" is so kde3 will appear. What's the trick?
