Hi Alex,

Apologies for my dissapearng in the middle of everything, the outside world 
intervened.  Anyway, I'm back and catching up on the e-mail backlog, looks 
like you took the only practical solution in the end.  

I'll start on the porting list soon as I get an up-to-date install running.  
I'll start on the lesser KDE modules first doing the easy stuff to get 
practice :-)  I'll try document the process more, then advertise on some 
other mailing lists to try get people to port their own stuff, and to make it 
known they should add a Print Preview menu item and slot if they don't 
already have one.

Cheers!

John.
