Well, unless I'm thoroughly confused (which happens entirely too often), I need
Qt1.4x for PyKDE, and I'm assuming that the associated PyQt version needs to be
compiled with the same Qt lib version - am I mistaken there?

We just finally upgraded to KDE2 with the release of 2.1, so I've given the
whole situation some thought in the last few weeks and my conclusions are:
1. I don't want to switch to GTK (gack!)
2. I don't want to go back to C++ for this particular project
3. Using Qt, I also need some of the KDE widgets, like the HTML widget and
otheres (this is a very specialized MUA with lots of features we need but nobody
else would probably want)
4. Since there is no PyKDE2 (and I really don't need it that badly), Qt1.4x and
KDE1 should be just fine.
5. I don't expect the remaining problems related to Qt<2.2 and KDE<2 will get
much attention, and I think that's a fair situation

For this particular problem, there's probably an 'assert' somewhere in the Qt
source I can comment out if it gets too annoying, and since Qt1.4x isn't
supporting much else I use, I don't feel too bad about doing that. Just thought
someone might know of a fix other than patching the Qt source.

I'm always impressed by your quick responses, and really appreciate the effort
you've put in to PyQt and PyKDE.

Thanks!
