Re: [kde-solaris] Linkage errors in kdebase with xrender

Without xrender support QT's look and feel doesn't come nice. However, with xrender compiled it gives nice look and feel (with fonts and text). I think it should be there. I have compiled xrender on sparc it is working very much well.

This is my first message here. I'm an experienced C++ programmer, have
been using Debian (sid) and KDE at home for several years now, and
finally I'm starting to get into KDE development. My main interests are
kdepim (as a devout user) and BiDi issues (as a Hebrew user).
      
Thanks Shai,

Committed... but...
we have a problem in dolphin (dolphin/src/ktooltip.cpp) and plasma
(plasma/plasma/plasmaapp.cpp) because both of those unconditionally
assume XRender for any system with X11.  

We need the authors of the relevant code to provide #if (HAVE_XRENDER)
conditional compiles to handle the situation where the XRender stuff
isn't available.
    

Apparently this is also a runtime problem. I've seen the Oxygen style and 
Plasma look funny on a SUNray box, where apparently XRender is not available 
but (tried to be) used, resulting in LSD-like coloring of lots of widgets. 
Not that it doesn't look cool, but it does not a match with the artistic 
vision either. :-)
