          allows you to access your camera's picture with the URL kamera:/

              picker
* kdvi: program (and embeddable KPart) to display *.DVI files from TeX

  Bitmaps can be saved directly as *.xbm, as xpm into *.h or as a QCoord object

This package also contains two more general libraries:

* libkscan: library to access scanners used by kooka (and koffice), needs
            SANE to be used

Common Mistakes
---------------

If configure claims Qt cannot be found, have a look at http://www.troll.no
to get a copy of latest Qt 3.x version.

Debugging
---------

You can use --enable-debug with the configure script, if you want to have
debug code in your KDE apps and libs. This will ensure useful and more 
verbose backtraces, but will require a lot more disk space. 

More Info
---------

Please direct any bug reports to our bug list by visiting
