compilation of koffice's karbon breaks

[Nicolas Goutte]

An unmodified KOffice 1.2 wll not compiled on an unmodified KDE 3.0.5.

Either:
- use use KOffice of the CVS branch KOFFICE_1_2_BRANCH
- modify your KDE version down to 3.0.4 (file kdeversion.h (the installed 
one!))

The reason is that KOffice assume that 3.0.5 is KDE 3.1 alpha. However 3.0.5 
is the fifth revision of KDE 3.0. So of course it cannot work, as a few 
things are not defined in that case.

The fixes work because:
- KOFFICE_1_2_BRANCH knows that KDE 3.1 alpha starts at 3.0.6
- KOffice 1.2 treats 3.0.4 as KDE 3.0 and therefore defines what is needed and 
do not use what should not be used.

For more information, please look into the archives ( http://lists.kde.org ) 
under the lists koffice and koffice-devel.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
