I'm having a simular problem. The Containments are set correct, and KDM loads correctly, but when KDE4.1 loads it thinks the resolution is ~2000x800 rather than the 1280x800 xorg setting the taskbar and widgets stick to the correct resolution and the moment i load of the display control pannel the resolution automatically switches the the xorg setting - even without me having to manually specify a display size and applying the change. this causes a knock on problem with both Compiz and KDEs desk...
Quoted from "neverendingo" No, currently there is no way, Oxygen relies on Qt4, and KDE3 uses Qt3, that's incompatible. Well yes, that's what i'd already posted. I was asking if there was a wrapper for QT3 to call QT4 (much like there's a wrapper for GTK to call QT4)
Have you got ntfs-3g installed?
i should have added - if using a GUI to admin is a must, then it would be worthwhile looking into X11 tunnelling via SSH rather than VNC.
bandwidth mostly I would imagin. text uses a great deal less bandwidth than images so ssh would be a great deal more responsive than rdp/vnc. I'm no expert on rdp/vnc but i'd imagin both should support encyrption - ssh is also encrypted. personally though, i wouldn't trust vnc's security over the internet though. not unless you have a fixed ip and block vnc's listening port to all outside traffic from ip's other than yours. vnc isn't multi-user. I think rdp can be depending on the server, howeve...
Quoted from "KSpartan" Even in Windows Vista users can switch to the old start menu. You can switch to the old style KMenu in KDE4 as well: Unlock desktop widgets then right click on the KMenu and select "switch to classic menu style"
Quoted from "RMJ1940" I agree with everything you said. I'm a new linux user and the reason I chose KDE was the control I had over things and the way it looked and worked. With KDE4 I have very little control over things like the panel settings, Desktop Application Launcher not to mention the majority of the System Settings. I know that I can set it up to the "Traditional menu" but even that has lost most of it's controls and power. What I'm afraid of, and I know it will happen, is KDE3 will no...
I know you guys have resolved this, but incase anyone else happens to stumble across this thread: If you want to revert KDE4 back to factory settings, then delete or rename the folder .KDE4 located in your users home directory.
it sounds to me like you should have uninstalled KDE3.5 before installing KDE4.1 I'm no expert, but I personally would uninstall both versions of KDE then install 4.1 again. I know it's a nuisance, but as both versions of KDE cannot be installed (unless you do some serious tweaking before hand - which it doesn't sound like you have) i think the safest way would be to revert back to a clean, KDE-free, system before installing 4.1 again. One 4.1 is installed, you can reinstall your old KDE3.5 spec...
Quoted from "catch22" one day all the desktop icons are there, the next day they're gone, next day they're back again I don't see what I did wrong in the settings... I'm using KDE on PC-BSD another thing is that I get error messages on start up every time about the "file protocol" and the "media protocol"... any ideas? What version of KDE and PC-BSD? also, these errors you describe, are you able to give teh exact error message rather than just "about the"?
I have some degree of transparency when using compiz (I cant remember if it's a default setting or something I configured though) and you could probably also achieve what you're after with a custom desktop widget / plasmoid. however it doesn't appear to be an option in the vanilla KDE4.1 setup. No doubt such and option will eventually be available, but i suspect they still have more critical bug-fixes and configuration to impliment first.
I'm still running a few KDE3 applications (like smb4k) and wondered if there was a wrapper (like gtk-qt-engine) to intergrate KDE3 applications better? I've read about using QTCurve to integrate GTK/QT3, but ideally i'd prefer to use the Oxygen theme where I can.
I use archlinux. the nice thing is it's BSD style init scripts and minimal default install so you can quickly build the system you want. 'pacman' is also a rather nice package manager as well imo
