 (I need a good UML diagramming program).  However, it does look like it
 will take a lot of work to get it going.  I guess I'll wait until the next
 version of kdesdk4 is out.  Better that everyone else has a kdesdk4 that
 compiles...

 OK, working well turned out to be an exaggeration.  In all of my kdesdk
 apps, including Umbrello, I can't resize the window, and no graphical
 toolbars appear (a particular problem for Umbrello).  The problem appears
 to be at the KDE level, as QTDemo runs fine.

 One installation bug, though -- directory
 /Users/<me>/Library/Preferences/KDE was left owned by root, so I couldn't
 properly launch until I did a chown -R.

 I think I'll just wait for 4.2.0.  Thanks for your help!
