	System: NetBSD cucciolo 1.5.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5.3_ALPHA (GENERIC) #0: Wed Feb  6 00:46:48 CET 2002     tron@colwyn.zhadum.de:/src/NetBSD-1.5/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

	Architecture: i386

>Description:
	As already reported by other users, there are problems printing from
	kde-2.2.x (see pr 15196 for details).
	
	According to the error message, library "libkded_kdeprintd.so" does not
	work because symbol __ti10KDEDModule is not defined. Even upgrading to
	NetBSD-1.5.3_ALPHA and recompiling kde does not seem to help, in my case.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	The problem seems to appear only when kded is launched by kdeinit. If,
	instead, kded is started as a separate program, everything works fine.
	Add the following simple patch to startkde to solve the problem by
	starting kded separately, without the need to upgrade the OS and to
	recompile the packages.
