 Hi,

 attached you'll find a tar including an updated port file which brings
 kmymoney's latest version 1.0.4 to MacPorts.

 Bradley Giesbrecht and me also tried to make the kmymoney port a bit more
 user-friendly. He initiated the development of a little starter .app which
 is accessible from "Applications/MacPorts".

 This little .app doesn't only show kmymoney's fancy icon, but also checks
 for correct settings of permissions of .kde folder as well as files
 .ICEauthority and .Xauthority. Unfortunately these are candidates to have
 root ownership in a normal user's home directory if the latter used "sudo
 port install" for installation of KDE ports
 [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233892]. The .app will offer to fix
 them for the user on each kmymoney start-up.

 This portfile actually uses (configure|build).env directives to avoid
 creation of folders/files with root permissions in the user's dir, but
 probably most other KDE ports would still show this unwanted behavior.

 Also KDE dependencies have been stripped down to kdelibs3.

 Since kdelibs-3.10.5, however, there is the issue that the program
 complains about a not running dcopserver at startup, but clicking the
 warning away doesn't stop the kmymoney from working properly.

 Greets,
 Marko
