Is it really that hard to make vector based printouts with KDE 2? If you
or someone could give me a breif overview of the classes and how they 
intract I'll might be able to submit a patch with better printing
support. 

I just updated from cvs and now I'm not able to build the program. I'm
using KDE 2.2.2-2. Will UML modeller be targeted only to KDE 3.0?
