When I start kopi, go through the configuration, and tap OK to start up kdepimpi it displays well. But it won't respond to taps and after ~10 seconds crashes with a segment fault preceded by about twenty QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected" messages.
Do I need to do some Qt upgrade or something or is it possibly a problem with libart? The latter continues to be a problem with apt-get and other installs.
Thank you,

I guess I might be the only one experiencing this...
- In Red Pill mode I straightened out libart - no help. Starting any of the apps from the application manager menu or command line, same results as above.
- Searching on the message seems to indicate it's Qt related. When I check installed info in red pill mode there's no Qt packages. Is there a pre-req I'm missing?
Yes, Qt4 (and the Qt3 compatability packages) are a prerequisite for KDEPIMPI.
You shouldn't need to use the red-pill mode..I never have. I've installed the normal Qt4 package. In addition, I supplied the Qt3 compatability packages (as .debs) with the KDEPIMPI tar file.
Once KDEPIMPI is packaged as a real ".deb" package, the installation will be much easier. Anyone want to give that a try?
Short of that, if someone who knows "apt-get" can replace my use of "dpkg" in the install_kdepimpi script with "apt-get" to install the compatability packages, I belive that apt will be smart enough to realize that the compatability packages require Qt4, solving the problem.
Thank you for that tip. Red pill mode gives more detail as to what's installed; that was a prime reason for temporarily stepping into that mode. When I didn't see Qt anything (or libqt*) I figured something was wrong. Per your note I installed the 4 libqt debs in the dependencies folder and still get the QWidget::repaint recursive repaint warnings and the eventual segment fault.... I even tried a reboot.
I suspect there's some other missing dependency that will show up if / when it becomes one deb package.
I re-flashed OS2008 with the February update and installed kdepimpi on practically a fresh system (after adding multi-boot and cloning the OS) via the install script and still get the repaint warnings and eventual segment fault. Hmmmm.
