KAddressBook with WengoPhone

I am trying to set up KAddressBook to use WengoPhone as a phone program, and I can't find the command line of WengoPhone. WengoPhone seems to support command but they are not documented. The command line is like this: Source code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 $ qtwengophone --help [...] Allowed options: -h [ --help ] print usage message -b [ --background ] run in background mode -s [ --several ] allow several WengoPhone at the same time -q [ --configpath ] arg pass a path to load configuration directory -c [ ...

Another bug stays with KDE 4: clipboard dissapears after the providing app is closed

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149676 is a generic Linux desktop bug that comes with both KDE 3 and 4. If you copy something from one program and close that program the clipboard will no longer be available. This is what I did the last time, post here a bug and have people vote for it as I cannot solve it myself. Please vote.

HowTo Downrev to 3.5?

I forgot to mention, you must have a file correctly setted. /etc/apt/sources.list must contain at least a good source for your packages. Mine contains: "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free" You will want to replace stable with "testing" or "Lenny", according to your distribution, I am stuck with Etch for the moment.

HowTo Downrev to 3.5?

Sorry, I forgot to come back and answer this. So you say Debian, excelent choice. You should use aptitude or synaptic. Aptitude is a very smart console program. Synaptic is a GUI program that does the same thing as aptitude, only it is not so smart. What I mean, synaptic is the best package manager with GUI you can get at the moment and does its job very well, but aptitude is genius. you say for example as root in a console: Source code 1 aptitude install kde , and it will show you a list of thi...

HowTo Downrev to 3.5?

I don't understand the problem exactly. So you have installed a precompiled KDE 4 package. What is your distribution? I guess it should be quite simple to use the original package manager of the distribution, if kpackage does not work as it should. Second, does installing KDE 4 remove KDE ? This would be a very strange decision. I can't install a precompiled KDE 4 now, I can only compile it myself, but I guess that you got something wrong rather than the packagers made the decision not to allow ...

panel spacer?

I don't have a perfect solution, but there exists a setting in KDE to show a line bewteen the different components of the kicker panel. Here is a way to set it (I don't know the exact words in English): Right click on the panel, select configure in the menu. Then select looks (or aspect)->advanced option. There will be a new pop-up window, and you have something like "Miniprogram indicator" with the options: visible, estompated, hidden. Play with them and see if visible/estompated satisfy you.

Reality Check for 4.0 Developers

@glennthigpen These things will be solved. This is not a decision to make unconfigurable software. It is just that didn't provide those features yet. Please report a bug to let people know what bothers you. Many of the bugs/wishes are already there and they will be solved, you can help developers make better software. @cheexer I bet you KDE 4 will be a big succes and will see wider adoption than Gnome. About comparing KDE with Gnome, I can asure you that the KDE developers produce much more code...

really neat feature that just has to be added to KDE

Quite interesting, and would go with the extensible KDE technologies. On the other hand, I think I can beat Enso in most situations with current KDE tech. For example the editing I do in Kate, I have tools->indent/capitalize/upper case/lower case etc, the math I do by selecting the text and then middle click on the kate terminal running python. I am afraid to think what kind of features and customisations have those Emacs users (I am not one of them).

RE: Fast

Quoted Originally posted by maddog I just installed on a 300+ AMD XP with 2 gigs of ram and it craws. KDE 3.5 was faster and Gnome 2.6.20 runs rings around KDE 4 How did you achieve that? I have a far inferior computer (and 512 MB ram), was running debug betas of KDE 4 along with KDE 3 in another session, and it seemed quite ok, not a lot slower than KDE 3 programs, and the redrawing seemed even faster.

KDE 4 as Windows Shell

Last time that I heard of it, no, it is not posible (for the moment). You can run KDE programs. Also, using Cygwin you can get a fully "functional" KDE 3 on Windows, with kicker and the programs running. I wrote "functional", because although the functionality is there, the speed was horifying (I needed a file manager and Konqueror is by far the best).

KDE4 panel disappeared. How do i get it back??

Hei, I don't have a kde 4 right now so I can't say exactly what to look for, but that is killing the fly with the cannon. You can find the plasma configuration file and edit/rename/delete, it something like ./kde/share/config/*plasma* or other paths like this, I have edited it for the same reason, but now I don't have that computer near.

Looping through folders in KMail

I have 1.95 with KDE 3.5.5 and it works as you described your version, but it doesn't bother me. If I remember, it has been like this since I use KMail. You can use Edit/Search instead, for more options.

KDEWallet insecurely displaying passwords via GUI to anyone around

Yes, this could be a misfeature, please report a bug. But do notice that what the kde wallet does is different from what firefox does. Firefox only keeps its own passwords, while the KDE wallet provides other programs with passwords.

changing focus to a differnt window via a script

Try the program kdcop. There search for what kwin exports, and also for what your programs export. It should be doable.

KDE4 - the great disappointment

The answer to your question: KDE 4 is nowhere near release candidate. That is just a name to atract testers. KDE 4 has finished products (Kate) and alpha quality parts, the plasma desktop. As a side question, were forced to configure manually in Debian? I do that many times, but only because I break things out of curiosity, and I have to fix them, I think that if I just use it as a normal user the thing would simply work. I don't remember having problems because of debian, but because I created ...

KDE4 - the great disappointment

Hold your horses, it's not as bad as it could be . 1) Indeed, someone played a naming trick here, to make more users look at the new KDE version. What I don't understand, is why the *** did people want more testing if they don't want to hear opinions . 2)Just to see that this is not as bad as it could be, think that someone just wrote a poll to ask if they should just close all bugs. ROFLMAO. Unleash the bug testers, and then just tell them they did all the work in vain. Of course the poor guy d...
