I've since found when using rpm -i or rpm -U to install the package instead
of YAST that RPM reports that the version installed from the SUSE 8.2 CD is
1.2.1-93 and the one I downloaded is 1.2.1-14

Not sure how that happened,
Both versions report "ver1.0" in "Help" | "about Kivio" so thats not much
use.

I've gone back to the one from the CD.
