New low contrast icons in 4.5
by Lukas Middendorf
Hi,
I have installed 4.5rc3 and wonder if it is possible to get back the old
icons in System Tray.
All (almost) icons (klipper, kmix, krandrtray, Battery
Monitor widget, Device Notifier, ...) seem to have been replaced by new gray
icons that only really work on the black oxygen background. The contrast is
very low on my gray Aya background.
Also the old colored icons looked much
nicer in my opinion (especially kmix).
So is there a way to get back the
old icon theme?
Regards,
Lukas

KMail + OpenLDAP
by Timothy Murphy
It is possible, but unduly difficult,
to use a remote OpenLDAP address book
with current (4.4.5) KMail/KAddressBook .
A simple search in KAddressBook
for a name in the LDAP directory yields nothing.
As far as I can see,
one has to click on Import from LDAP Server
and then give the name in the new window that comes up.
I don't see any simple way of transferring the email address
given in this way to KMail,
except by copy and paste.
Incidentally, this is not relevant here
but it is even more difficult to use a remote LDAP directory
with Windows XP,
where is seems necessary to make a change in the Registry.
I would have thought a common Address Book
for different operation systems would be a common need?

system-settings and logout
by Robert Szalai
Hi All,
I was trying to use 4.5 betas and now RC3 from kde-unstable and have a
two annoying problems.
a) When I change something in system-setting and press the Apply
button the whole desktop hangs. I need to restart X and log in again.
The changes I made seem to be there after restarting X, though.
b) On logout/restart/shutdown the desktop freezes again, there is no
indication what is going on. The timer that supposed to show how much
time is left stays at 24 seconds. Also pressing the logout/restart/
shutdown button in the middle of the screen give no reaction. However,
after waiting about 20 seconds the logout/restart/shutdown will occur.
It is just annoying that there is feedback and why do I need to wait
for the timeout and why can't I just press the button?
Problem a) occurs regardless if desktop effects are on/off. Problem b)
only occurs with desktop effects on. Out of curiosity I've tested it
with Kubuntu with their 4.5rc2 packages and to my surprise neither of
these problems were present with desktop effects on.
Does anybody have similar experience, is there a bug report and why
does Kubuntu work and Fedora doesn't?
Thanks,
Robert

KNode on different machines
by Timothy Murphy
I've asked this question before,
but never got a response as far as I recall: but
Is there any simple way of keeping KNode in sync
on different machines in different locations?
I keep .kde/share/apps/knode/ on a /common folder
shared between machines,
but this is only half successful.
Surely this is a fairly common need?

Beeps from Klipper
by Dave Ulrick
Hi,
Sometimes--but not always--when I use the mouse to select text in an app
such as Konsole, I hear the sound I have configured to play when a
Notification (in the KDE System Notifications event source) occurs. I
have Klipper running, so I'm wondering if it might be somehow involved in
triggering this notification. If so, any idea of how I could prevent the
sound from being played without disabling the Notification sound globally?
As I mentioned, the beep only occurs on some occasions. Other times, I
select text in exactly the same manner but hear no beep. I notice this
behavior in both KDE 4.3.x and 4.4.x.
Thanks,
Dave

# topics to discuss:
* kde-4.5 rc3 status
* Sebastian Trueg recommends to set /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
to very high value for Nepomuk
* Solid DeviceKit backend
= Summary
=
kde-4.5 rc3 status
* kdegames trademark issues
o can we
omit affected games (and move to RPM Fusion?)
+ not easy to
maintain -trademark patch
+ games, handbook, translations
tied to it...
o ACTION: jreznik to contact kde legal and kdegames
maintainers about trademark issues
o ACTION: than to provide list
of affected files
* otherwise kde-4.5 rc3 is built and already in
kde-unstable repo
set /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches to very high
value for Nepomuk
* Sebastian Trueg recommends it on kde-packagers
mailing list
* we're not sure what does it mean for us
o
what's happen when limit is reached?
o what about memory
consumption when higher number is set?
+ ACTION: jreznik to
ask Sebastian
* mjg59 says it's probably justifiable to increase it and
he thinks increasing the value increases memory usage in itself, but it does
increase the amount of kernel resources a user can allocate
* ACTION:
rdieter to contact fedora devel/kernel folks about raising
/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
Solid DeviceKit backend
*
ltinkl is working on dk backend, targetting Fedora 15 and KDE 4.6
open
discussion
* rdieter would like to throw out a tease that there's a
good chance we'll be bringing a good qt/kde presence to fudcon zurich ,
pending some financial/logistical details

kde-4.4.95 (4.3 rc3) to kde-unstable
by Rex Dieter
kde-4.4.95 (4.3 rc3) builds will be arriving to kde-unstable repos shortly.
One change done here differently than prior ones is that these are built
against and depend upon qt-4.7.0.
As usual, test and enjoy.
