My > guess is that is about as easy with dpkg, ebuilds or ports. Unless I missed something, there are more things to work around than the one that was fixed in your patch, no? For example, the fact that kompare doesn't understand when the filename is /dev/null. As for upgrading kompare, I'm all for the idea, but the KDE folks aren't making that easy. The only link in the Kompare download section is for www.kde.org, which isn't making the source code any easier to find (including a 404 link for "Source code" on the front page!). Any direct link? BTW, I'm running the latest Ubuntu (Feisty) that ships with kompare 3.4. Jean-Marc
