[Kst] kst-1.1.0 and svn HEAD X Errors

[Ted Kisner]

Mark, for what it's worth, I'm using svn HEAD on unstable
(debian-amd64) using older KDE 3.4.1 packages from

http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.1/

I have not done a dist-upgrade for a while, since I was waiting for
KDE to fully make the ABI transition.  I think that the transition is
mostly over now (except a few things like koffice), so I will try to
upgrade to the current sid version (3.4.2) tomorrow and see what
problems I experience.

perhaps I can help debug...
