Using a frame buffer ? Can you give a short description how do you have got this
working ?

Very interesting. Which kde release you are using ?

Probably qt3.1 ?

Holger, you have done a great work. Thanks for all your efforts on the qt/win32
port.
I see this with one laughing and one weeking eye. Laughing, because you've got
this chance for you personally and that you are able to figure out some of the
win32 kde issues and weeking, because the port seems to be stopped temporary.

One question: Can you send a commented update of the ported class list to this
list ?  Then I can update the website with the open issues, so that others will
know where to go one.

Okay, let us see, what will be happen :-)
