[lug] kvt

[Elizabeth O. Coolbaugh]

Hmm ... it could have something to do with a recent buffer overflow
reported in kvt:

http://securityfocus.com/templates/archive.pike?list=1&date=1999-10-01&thread=19991004114213.C4399@hp.com

and this followup:

RH6.0 shipped with KDE 1.1.1pre2.  KDE 1.1.1+fixes has been in the
RH6.0 updates directory since June and it does not contain kvt.

Apparently the KDE team decided to just stop supporting kvt.
