Forget GNOME

i like kde and i really like gtk2 - unfortunately i do not like gnome (from 2.4 on) and qt, so i'm using xfce4 as WM and running kde-apps out of it i wish to see kde ported to gtk2 and then it will be great - the worst case i can imagine would be using a gnome-port that bases on qt :-) my 2Rp

why do kde keeps kedit, when there is kwrite around

Quoted Original von anda_skoa KEdit is needed for Bidi languages (eg.g Hebrew, Arabic) because KatePart (which is used in Kate and KWrite) currently lacks this feature. You can remove it if you don't need to write right-to-left languages. Cheers, _ so if KatePart has this support of backwards writing, then kedit will be definitely obsolete? yes, kedit is "just an easy editor ", but kwrite is the same with more features (so if the missing features from kedit are migrated to kwrite, then we can r...

why do kde keeps kedit, when there is kwrite around

Quoted Original von TenBaseT Using vi & co since fifteen years. My faforite Editor is gvim. Don't never change a usable editor..... Hans :-) i know what you mean: in console, using vi is more or less a reflex :-) but i got used to kwrite for php/mysql programming because the highlighting is really nice (the beautiful colors ++) but exactly because of this dilemma, i'm wondering what is kedit for - nostalgy?

Customizing KDE?, Please help me....

ok, i figured out what this menudrake is ... use this command, to run konqueror as root: [code:1] Command: kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement [/code:1] instead of your [code:1] Command: kfmclient openProfile filemanagement [/code:1] :-) is this what you wanted?

Customizing KDE?, Please help me....

Quoted Original von jmr0311 Hi damir, you're saying that I have to find the path for "kwrite". Well I did a search of kwrite and it come up with this path; /usr/bin/ /usr/share/apps/ so the kwrite is located in /usr/bin? ( try running /usr/bin/kwrite in the console ) if i e.g. run [code:1] [damir@Asteraceae /]$ locate kwrite /opt/kde/bin/kwrited /opt/kde/bin/kwrite /opt/kde/bin/kwriteconfig /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwrited.la /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwrited.so /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwrite.la /opt/kde/li...

why do kde keeps kedit, when there is kwrite around

just wonder: as i never use kedit, because kwrite is the better editor, i wonder why anyone would use kedit it cannot be because of the startup-time, as both load in less than 200ms on my machine any idea? what about removing kedit and making kde smaller?

Kedit source code

why do you need kedit as separate pkg? why that old one? on the official mirrors of kde, the earliest version to be found is 3.1.4, so you are not lucky - maybe you ask redhat - or i would update the system to a modern one and keep it uptodate e.g. have a look at www.archlinux.org for a distro that is very easily kept up-to-date kde mirrors: http://www.kde.org/mirrors/ftp.php

Customizing KDE?, Please help me....

instead of simply kwrite, use /path/to/kde/bin/kwrite, because normally kwrite is not in the PATH in root (because root is not a normal user) i do not know for mandrake, but you can use locate kwrite to find the full path

Where do you want to configure your hardware??? (vote)

Quoted Original von thegeekster I like the idea of having the configuration in one place............ As for the problem of differing hardware and configurations, why not use the approach similar to how webmin works in some of the modules..............Take the Apache module for instance...............You can set certain parameters using a dialog box, but you also have the ability to view the whole configuration file in an internal editor.............That way you can use the dialog box to make ch...

Re: grouping

Quoted Original von zenok First you go trough the tree and find your group (1), then your module (2) and then mostly your tab (3) and then your option (4). But often it's not the right group so back to (1) ... :twisted: how true, how true :-) Quoted Original von zenok I like the Windows and Mac way and Gnome and RedHat way :wink: yea, especially the mac way is very logical ; in windows, some things you must search for ("hardware manager", "services"); redhat i dont know, but e.g. YaST2 is not b...

Re: XFree86

Quoted Original von zenok Hm look XF86/X-Server world is changing so we don't know what is coming in the future. I know that to find an right configuration for your graphic card is not easy and yes Knoppix is doing the best job there so first we should contact the X11 team to create a better configuration backend in the future and include in the "new" Controlcenter the Knoppix autoconfiguration tool have a look at hwd http://amlug.net/new-projects/hwd/hwd.html it is developed for ArchLinux, but...

Do you like the actual KDE Controlcenter??? (vote)

Quoted For me the options and dialogs and the KDE Controlcenter needs a total redesign and not only a cleanup... I don't like the way to configure and to get to the dialogs. Look what Norman posted... ... Quoted Original von Norman I agree that it needs a facelifting. Recently I switched from GNOME to KDE and KDE is better in nearly every area - yet, the only thing that makes me crazy sometimes is searching for an option - e.g. I searched for a way to change the mouse cursor theme ( I Knew I ha...

Re: But a Pro-User

Quoted Original von zenok But as it sounds to me you are an Pro-User. When a DE brings a graphical tool for an XF86Config file why not??? The new user uses the dialog you the file both will work. i agree, as long as editing by hand will not be overridden by the GUI without being asked in the GUI, i'm not against such a solution as such XF86Config is actually a special case: it is once written and then it "simply works" on this hardware and an option in the GUI to mess with it is not a really go...
