Actually, if you are interested in globally useful KParts, there's another 
project, KryoMol, that focuses more on the KParts aspect. Anyway 99% of the 
code is shared, as these KParts are just thin wrappers around libavogadro.

uh oh, indeed, that's rather unavoidable!

yes, I'm always interested.

You can link Kalzium (more specifically libavogadro-kalzium) against the 
software-only version of Mesa; in the ubuntu repositories, that's called 
libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev. However, installing that package might uninstall your 
current mesa package. I don't know, I'm no debian expern.

On the other hand, if what matters to you is to avoid replacing libaries, you 
can simply edit your xorg.conf and remove the line
	Load	"dri"
but that'll disable all hardware acceleration even in non-opengl apps.

Cheers,
Benoit
