[Elecraft] Kcomm on fedora 16

[Adrian]

For anyone running the linux package of Kcomm with a KDE desktop as i do,
on a 2nd linux laptop in the shack, here is some advice.

If you have trouble running kcomm with terminal results like this;

[FORMS.PP] ExceptionOccurred Sender=EAccessViolation Exception=Access

It is likely you are running the Oxygen desktop theme, on KDE which 
causes this.

The solution run command :   (your path ./kcomm -style=cleanlooks)

GUI is up and running. Works well with the k3 ,put the fldigi path in 
settings manually, file browser can cause a crash. Tested on 32 & 64 bit 
machines ok.

I am looking at compiling a source package for modern distros.
