This renaming effort will end up being a multi-stage process with pauses to search for problems such as the ones you noticed already. So if I have this correct, you have noticed the following invalid strings: chaltde tastdelist doctdemain loctdeselect bootdeselect tdeiosk Kiostde I have already noticed and corrected several of these, but you also spotted some that I did not see at first. Most of the problems are caused by the fact that the KDE developers prefixed most libraries and header file names, not to mention application names, with a single letter 'k'. In hindsight, this practice makes any renaming projects much more difficult than if a multiple character unique prefix such as 'kde' was used instead, not to mention increasing the chances of collision with existing libraries outside of KDE (e.g. a hypothetical Kerberos interface library might try to add a 'k' prefix to its class names through the same logic). I am consistently replacing all K class prefixes with TDE to mitigate this problem, however as you noticed this process is quite error prone. Tim
