[kde-solaris] KDE 3.41 on Solaris 8 - Half working

[Darin Perusich]

hi andrew,

when used pkg-get to do the install did you just do 'pkg-get -i kde_gcc' 
or something else? also check which kde packages where installed, what's 
the output from 'pkginfo |grep CSWkde'?

i haven't tried out 3.4 yet but i'm using 3.3.1 and was able to connect 
with xwin32 6.0 fine.
