Well, as KMagnifier is obviously an accessibility related application this is 
certainly a good place to ask. However, we are only few developers in the 
accessibility project, so don't expect a quick solution.

An other list where you can find more developers is the kde-devel @ kde.org 
mailing list. However, that list is only more appropriate if the problem is a 
more general one as most of those developers don't know the details of 
KMagnifier.

Which version of Qt, KDE and KMagnifier are you using? I know that KDE 3.x 
requires Qt3.x, and I would expect that KDE 2.x needs Qt 2.x (and does not 
work together with Qt 3.x), but I might be wrong there.

Concerning KMagnifier I heard that it works together with any KDE version >= 
2.2. However, I did only use KMagnifier since it has become part of the 
kdeaccessibility package and I tested it only against KDE 3.0 (with Qt 3.0), 
KDE 3.1 (with Qt3.1) and KDE HEAD (with Qt 3.1).

 Please note that the configure scripts of the kdeaccessibility module are 
currently written for KDE 3.x, so you might need to do some changes in order 
to compile the CVS version of KMagnifier together with KDE 2.2.

Unfortunately your information does not help me in finding the source of the 
problem. Perhaps you can tell us the version numbers and provide some output 
of the compilation etc.
