The process has forked

Gentemen,

Some time ago (just after Leopard came out) the below
discussion took place
on this list regarding CoreFoundation and how changes in
Leopard impact some
application.  I've been able to google the discussion, but I
haven't seen if
there is any resolution.  I have the same symptoms,
particularly when
running startkde

I'm able to get kde up and running more or less by running
/sw/bin/kicker,
but a lot doesn't function -- such as sound -- the way it
did under Tiger.
Any ideas? Or am I just pretty much out of luck for now?

Best regards,

Charles

Probably not very quickly.  The maintainer has mentioned
having severe
time constraints for doing Fink stuff, and he is right now
involved
with getting the online package database back up and
running.  After
that there is a major GNOME update, and then he will have
time for his
own packages.
