Darrell,

  I started a new build of tde tonight from scratch. I grabbed the output of the
build failure in tdelibs due to komp-pid.diff. (I know it is experimental -- I
was experimenting :) It is another "error: cannot convert 'TQString' to 'const
char*' in assignment" in tdelibs/tdecore/kapplication.cp:

  So far the build is progressing with all other patches:

  patch -Np0 -i ${pkgname#*-}-XDG-KDE-TDE.diff

  ## patch kde help dir
  patch -Np0 -i ${pkgname#*-}-helpdir.diff

  ## patch KDE4-detect
  patch -Np0 -i ${pkgname#*-}-KDE4-detect.diff

  ## patch kdetcompmgr
  patch -Np0 -i ${pkgname#*-}-kdetcompmgr.diff

  ## patch recentdocs
  patch -Np0 -i ${pkgname#*-}-recentdocs.diff

  ## patch kdirwatch
  patch -Np0 -i ${pkgname#*-}-kdirwatch.diff

I'll report back on the kdirwatch patch improvements once the build is done.
