I have a living Kde3.5 on my notebook and Kde4.10 on my desktop. No |
15 |
question: Kde4 was a downgrade. Konqueror3 kicks ass on the castrated |
16 |
Konqueror4. Dolphin doesn't have half of the usability of Konqueror as a |
17 |
filemanager (I swear I tried to use it and had to switch to konqueror4) |

For this probably there is no answer: kde3 was killed and almost all |
27 |
development ceased with the introduction of kde4. And so the bug huntings |
28 |
and the like. |

KDE 3.5 is built for HAL, which gentoo got rid of. So basically you will |
45 |
not get mounting and unmounting of devices at DE level (I use bashmount for |
46 |
that). Battery monitoring seems to work (but I don't remember exactly HOW |
47 |
and WHY) |
48 |
You will need to tweak xdm to have kdm3 working. |
49 |
there are some distfiles that went rogue, you may have to search for them |
50 |
on google and procure externally". |
