Hopefull back on topic...

	I have gotten kde3 working on my new server (mostly). Currently, I simply
soft-linked libjpeg.so.62 and libpng12.so and libpng12.so.0 to the current libs
which was enough to get kde3 going. There are still major problems (no
background setting capability - colors work), no icons (except for fusion-icon
and a few others). I think the whole problem is that kde3 needs to be built
against all the current libraries - CAN I DO THAT??

	I have downloaded the kde3 3.5.10 source from kde.org and I have downloaded the
qt-3.3.8 X11-qt-3.3.8 sources from trolltech. The build instructions seem
doable. My question to the smart guys on the list is:

DO I HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL of being able to compile it against the current Arch?

	This I ask to save considerable time if the venture is fruitless.
