I don't understand this patch nor the explanation you give.

The gimp-1-2 CVS tree already has some changes that addresses this problem.

Shouldn't KDE use another name since libmpeg has been around for longer? Or am I wrong here? Could you please check Bugzilla for existing bug-reports regarding your problems and attach your patches to these reports or open new bug-reports. Thanks a lot. Salut, Sven
