New low contrast icons in 4.5
by Lukas Middendorf 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

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 seem to have been replaced by new gray icons that only really work on the black oxygen background.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 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

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 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

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 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

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 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

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 -- Dave Ulrick Email: d-ulrick(a)comcast.net

Klipper shortcut not working on KDE 4.5rc2
by Christian González 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

After upgrading KDE to 4.5rc2 from kde-unstable, Ctrl-Alt-V shortcut for Klipper popup is not working. "kcmshell4 keys" shows that the shorcut is already defined for Klipper. Is it an known bug? Or it is just me? -- Christian González G. http://chgonzalez.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/chgonzalez

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. -- Rex
