[arch-general] Painful installation of 4.3 - some general advice needed.

[ludovic coues]

I'll talk about my machine, with KDE4. I don't know why you get all these
weird stuff.

My kmail is working without these problems. Haven't get any problem with
libjpeg since I've tried to mix up testing repo and normal repo.

I'm using konqueror for web browsing, and from times to times as a ftp
browser. konqueror is still working, and can still open folder. But I can't
find out how to tell to KDE that I wanna konqueror as default file browser.


3) Is there anyway to have two tool bars down the bottom like one could in
> KDE3


I've just tried. I believe that it's not possible.
Anyway, you can put most of the thing you would find in a tool bar  on the
desktop. Like the systray, and the task manager. You could simulate a second
tool bar this way.

4) is it is any way possible to import kmail boxes (in one go) into

Kwrite is working for me. Kate too. For kmail/thunderbird, I don't know.
never try to import anything.

Good luck for the install.
