[Kde-games-devel] Kapman crashes

[Thomas Gallinari]

Hi Mauricio,

You were right, this new version of Qt revealed a bug that was not visible  
(but I don't know why !): level and lives labels did not have the right  
location.
However, other bugs are still there:
- Score, level and lives labels do not appear on new game, but only when  
the game starts
- Animations with the retro theme are very bad!

I still don't know how to fix these bugs, but for now I have fixed the  
label positions on the view, so that they are not on the maze but below,  
as they are supposed to. This is a temporary fix but quite important since  
it avoid the game crashing!

Should I commit this fix? On the trunk? On the branch? Should I temporary  
remove the retro theme since it is not fully supported?

Regards.
