After realizing (thanks Dave) that kmail 3.03 has a bug saving multipart/mixed
mime messages, I was able to use uudeview to extract a clean patch, and build
kernel which boot fine. Thats the good news.

When I try to start kde 3.03 on an up to date debian sid (X 4.2 etc) kde fails to start.
It complains that ksmserver cannot be started. Same setup works with 41-mm1.

Know this is not a meaty report. With X4.2 I have not yet figgered out how to get
more debug messages (the log from xstart is anemic) nor is there anything in
messages, kern.log or on the serial console. The box is a K6-III 400 on a via MVP3
chipset.

What other info can I gather?
