Thanks John, Werner and Niko,

I didn't think of sshfs, but I have used it before so now that you
mention it, it would work as a workaround -- although not nearly as
easily and conveniently as builtin remote file support.  I've had a
difficult time with the transition to KDE4 since neither Quanta nor
KDiff3 were available.  (At least kdesvn was available.)  I compiled
KDiff3 and got that working, but I simply need to find the shortest
path to getting a working development environment at my new job on new
hardware (laptop).  Spending days dealing with all the challenges of
KDE4 (e.g. Konsole doesn't support the same notion of bookmarks the
way it used to) has led me to finally use Eclipse, PDT and subclipse
as the IDE.  I still hope to see continued development on Quanta, but
I'm more concerned than ever that there aren't enough resources to
compete with PDT.  Anyway for those who need help getting Eclipse
installed, I did write up an article
