The binary packages available for download from upstream are built against kde3 (rhel-5 baseline builds). There are two implementations of the kde stuff, a kde3 one and a kde4 one. Our downstream packages are built against KDE4, so its almost certainly not a packaging bug, but an underlying problem that only affects the KDE4 backend. I was initially led astray on thinking that this was fixed because I had fixed a very similar sounding bug to this in the generic shared code of all the backends. You are probably correct in that it won't get much of my attention because there are thousands of things that need attention and my focus is necessarily primarily on the GTK backends and GNOME3 integration. In the past I only built the gtk backends and not the kde ones precisely because I knew I wouldn't have the resources to maintain both of them. The only long real solution is that someone with the technical know how and interest take an interest in improving the kde4 support upstream and avoid it drifting into irrelevance. FWIW (to try and tempt someone, not necessarily you, into having a look at kde4 integration) building upstream libreoffice with kde4 support is super easy with... git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core ./autogen.sh --enable-kde4 make and the majority of kde4 specific stuff is in vcl/unx/kde4 C. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
