mostly digikam, occasionally krusader, kde4 kuickshow.

Sometimes KDE app doesn't work in KDE3 as expected, I cannot recall
exactly, but I seem to remember that if I run kde4 krusader in kde3
it cannot enter kde4 root mode. I had also problems with kde4 kuickshow
in kde3 showing empty black windows only. openSUSE KDE3 has disabled
kuickshow long time ago and I always have to rebuild KDE3 packages
to build kde3 kuickshow and it works but sometimes distorts images when
rotates them after zooming.

I haven't used TDE for a while. I had 14.0.4 previously but I prefer
openSUSE KDE3, because its removable media handling fits me better and
I had problems with special characters in simple text files.
And if I have to build a native KDE application I can do it in openSUSE
native KDE3 but I can't in .trinity, because they renamed a lot of 
stuff.

I guess it would not interfere with plasma5 (or the opposite,  plasma5
wouldn't intefere with TDE), because, if I know correctly, plasma5 uses
a .kde dir for its settings (as kde3) but TDE uses .trinity for its 
settings.
But I haven't tried it, I am no sure.

Thanks,

Istvan
