4 Can someone explain -- or point to the relevant docs which explain --
5 how to use the KDE 3 overlay ? Perhaps this sb in the news announcement.

7 I've successfully installed most of KDE 4.3.1 ,
8 but without the desktop stuff, for which I have adopted Fluxbox.
9 I still have remnants of KDE 3.5.10 (details from my personal pkg list):
10
11 W 090501 kde-base/kdeartwork-kworldclock-3.5.10
12 090606 kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r6 [ 16 min ]
13 W 080924 kde-base/kmahjongg-3.5.10
14 W 080924 kde-base/ksokoban-3.5.10
15 W 090501 kde-base/kworldclock-3.5.10
16 080924 kde-base/libkdegames-3.5.10 [for kmahjongg etc]
17
18 Kmahjongg 4 lacks the removed-tiles display (it's promised);
19 Ksokoban hasn't been ported to KDE 4 (someone's working on it);
20 Kworldclock shows local times around the globe,
21 which Marble should show, but doesn't (yet?).
22 Everything still works & nothing (3 & 4) interferes with anything else.
23
24 Hopefully, it won't be difficult for users to keep KDE 3 items
25 as long as they need them & don't cause any other problems.
