According to Mandrakeclub.com, it has been ready. I haven't upgraded or tried it yet so I don't know.

Hopefully in Mandrake 10.2, they will include KDE 3.3

The only issue that I have so far is that menudrak does nto work. all libraries that menudrak uses are intalled but every single time you try to run it it throuws at segmentation fault error. It did the same thing with 10.1 CE. I managed to somehow switched to KDE menus instead, but I do not know if it happens to you but I can;t leave it be when I know something is not working.

Thats the whole reaosn why the question if I can downgrade to kde 3.2 form kde 3.3

Have you heard of the Konstruct tool? I heard that's the most easiest way to experiment with different versions of KDE. It just creates a separate KDE 3.3 directory and all you have to do is create a symlink to that directory and boot up KDE. If it doesn't work, you just change the symlink back to the original KDE 3.2.3 and all should be back to normal. This is what I've read and not actually tried.

I have read in this group that it is a tool that has issues with mdk. I haven;t seen any post of the tool working right the first time.....

I'm at work now but I'll see if I can do a re install of mdk 10.1 official with kde 3.2.3to sse if I get everything working. if not then it is back to clean install for me...
