Looks like the bug I have found in Kdevelop 2.1.3 is the ONE that is fixed in
2.1.4. So I'm downloading the rpm while I'm answering to you...
Kate is quite good but suffers of a problem with the cursor. I have found this
problem running both Peanut Linux and RH8. I'm going to try to describe it, but
that's not easy to explain (much easier to see when you use it):
when you type a text or move the cursor around with the arrow keys, the cursor
does not appear immediately. It keeps on blinking, but when you type a key it
starts by blinking in the "off" state.
So if you keep the right-arrow pressed for example, you do not see the cursor
moving. For a split of a second you do not know where you are.
I find this problem extremely annoying, to the extend that it makes Kate a pain
to use.
This problem was here in KDE 3.0.0 and is still here in KDE 3.0.3...
Back to on-topic: yes I think the Linux Tiger will be XBoard compatible.
