All I can say is that it takes a large subset of kdelibs/kdebase to do that: $ ldd konqueror |grep trin libkdeinit_konqueror.so => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeinit_konqueror.so libkonq.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkonq.so.4 libkutils.so.1 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkutils.so.1 libkparts.so.2 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkparts.so.2 libkio.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkio.so.4 libkdeui.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4 libkdesu.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdesu.so.4 libkwalletclient.so.1 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1 libkdecore.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdecore.so.4 libDCOP.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4 libkdefx.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdefx.so.4 libtqt.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libtqt.so.4 $ ldd konsole |grep trin libkdeinit_konsole.so => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeinit_konsole.so libkdeprint.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeprint.so.4 libkio.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkio.so.4 libkdeui.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4 libkdesu.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdesu.so.4 libkwalletclient.so.1 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1 libkdecore.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdecore.so.4 libDCOP.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4 libkdefx.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libkdefx.so.4 libtqt.so.4 => /opt/trinity/lib/libtqt.so.4 All I can say is that it is not a simple proposition. One person wants konqueror, another wants konsole and kate, yet another will want something else. Disk space is pretty cheap. It seems like a lot of work for little advantage. -- Bruce
