Tim, Darrell,

  In working tdebase patches, I note that one of the traditional patch files to
the kdebase source (existing in patches.tar.bz2 -
08-kip_kdesktop_rounded_icon_text_corners.patch) is not applied in the current
git source, and fails to apply due to the file name change. I think it is
probably a good idea to keep the patch. The patch is:

diff -Naur kdebase-3.5.8.orig/kdesktop/kfileividesktop.cpp
kdebase-3.5.8/kdesktop/kfileividesktop.cpp

+  }

  My question is did all the code class names change as well?? I guess it
doesn't matter here, but I've grepped and the only thing I come up with is:

tdefileividesktop.cpp:87:void KFileIVIDesktop::paintItem( TQPainter *p, const
TQColorGroup &cg)

  So I think the comment above is wrong as well. Do we want to try and apply the
traditional KDE patches that remain in patches.tar.bz2 to the code before R14
release (fix them once and for all)? the only patches that remain are:

patches/08-kip_kdesktop_rounded_icon_text_corners.patch
patches/03-kcontrol_advbg_step.patch
patches/06-nspluginscan-xdgcompliance.patch
patches/01-kicker-lockout-applet-button-order.patch

  Let me know. I'll keep tweaking these for now.
