Hi http://apt.kde-redhat.org/ ships only empty pages with status 200 OK which breaks YUM if kde-testing or kde-unstable are enabled

Annoying Maximize Window setting
by Patrick O'Callaghan 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

I seem to have activated an intensely annoying "feature" of Kwin whereby moving a window near the top of the screen maximizes it (it appears to be a lame idea copied from Windows). How do I turn this off? I don't see anything obvious in System Settings->Window Behaviour. poc

The way to make a case for changing defaults is not: *I* don't like it, therefore the default should be changed to match my personal preference. Better: This configuration/feature does not make sense for our target userbase because of compelling reasons ..., ... , ... -- Rex

Adding a tool to the Dolphin menu
by Patrick O'Callaghan 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Don't know if this is possible without hacking the Dolphin source, but I'd like to add a tool to the pop-up menu (it's just a Shell script that cleans up filenames to my personal taste). I'd also like to define a keyboard shortcut for it. Any suggestions? poc

KDevelop crashes when I execute a simple while loop without increment
by Dhaval Anjaria 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

I'm using KDevelop 4.6.0 on Fedora 20 with Qt 4.8.6 and KDE 4.12.5 If I write a simple C++ program that has a while loop that doesn't terminate, KDevelop crashes. The program has no extra libraries, it is the default KDevelop session, and it crashes and I have to kill it from the command line. http://paste.fedoraproject.org/109955/84418814 Above is the logs for KDevelop when doing so. I've filed a bug with KDE here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336267 Any help would be appreciated.

Chrome (35+) System Tray Issues and KDE
by Gerald B. Cox 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

There was an issue introduced into Chrome beginning with Chrome 35 regarding KDE system tray icons. Basically, with Chrome 35 if you don't have libappindicator installed, you don't see them at all. If you have libappindicator installed, you see the default blank sheet of paper icon. This has been fixed now in Chrome 37 unstable. If you don't have libappindicator it is fixed by: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=267195 which is "Add X11 status tray icon support". If you have libappindicator installed, it is fixed by: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=362880 which is "Systray icon for notification center is not available" There is a problem however in the implementation of 362880 that they didn't quite get the icons sized correctly. That issue is still open: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=382487 which is "System tray indicator icons are blurry in KDE" My understanding is that KDE5/PlasmaNext will *drop* support for the legacy XEmbed-based system tray protocol, which means that if you are depending on 267195 to show system tray icons, it won't work. I also understand that F21 will be using KDE5/PlasmaNext. That being the case, it would be a good idea for all the Chromium/Chrome users to go out and star 382487 so the Chromium team will fix this issue. Otherwise, be prepared for blurry icons for KDE.
