Active windows
by Jeremy Sanders
The active window "glow" is blue for the default Oxygen KDE style. This is
the same colour as the default Fedora background. This is almost the only
way you can see the active window, besides the title going slightly grey.
The recent KDE 4.4 updates have made it very hard to see the active window.
I've switched on "Draw separator between title bar and active window
contents". This helps, but the effect is subtle.
Outlining the active window title also helps, but is pretty ugly.
I think the defaults should be changed if Fedora ships a blue background.

KDE 4.4, anyone got CPU scaling support?
by Chris Smart
Hi all,
I've noticed that with a fresh Fedora install of KDE 4.4, PowerDevil
is saying that my system does not support CPU scaling. However, I do
have acpi_cpufreq, cpufreq_ondemand, etc loaded, and the cpufreq
command works from the terminal (as root).
So, before I log a bug, does anyone have a KDE 4.4 install where
PowerDevil *does* report support for CPU scaling?
System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Power Management -> Capabilities
(check "scaling capability").
Thanks,
Chris

Re: KAddressbook, Nepomuk, etc

Yes, I would love such a thing too. Do you have one? :-)
Seriously speaking, it could be used not only for contacts, but in general.

This is crucial. If I could access the database over a web interface, that
would be quite sufficient. Actually, what you want is basically a good and
functional web-oriented GUI frontend for, say, mysql backend...

What do you mean by this? When you are accessing the database remotely (via
the web interface), how do you plan to connect to a mobile phone?
> 3. There should be a simple interface with KMail/KAddressBook.
This should be something like "import contacts from the web" kind of option in
KAddressBook. It's probably doable. Or, there could be an "export into
kaddressbook-type file" button in the web interface, which is probably even
easier to implement. Or a comma-separated-values file, which virtually any
addressbook app can import.

This is also crucial. I could really make use of a database with dynamic field
configurations in tables. Or a sufficiently powerful web-interface which would
instruct mysql backend to do all the hard work.

Even better, I would wish to be able to store an arbitrary file into a database
field. Or have the field contain a symlink to the file. So I don't want to have
_information_ about films and books in the database, but rather the actual films
and books themselves.

Well, I don't need this one. And web-like access to data is platform-
independent, so at least that part could work everywhere.

Well, as I said above, the *only* thing that is actually needed is a powerful
web GUI, for *any* database backend. Mysql, postgresql, openldap, a plain text
file, whatever does the work.

Oh, if you ever find such a thing, do send me an e-mail with a link! It would
make my life sooo much easier... :-)
BTW, I would add the following requirements:
7. It should be able to handle multiple databases. I might have one for
contacts, one for books, one for music, one for... , all in the same GUI. Or
to be able to connect the GUI to this or that one dynamically.
8. It should be GPL, of course, and included in Fedora! :-)
Best, :-)

Have I missed fix for 4.4 login problem?
by Dwight Paige
For me since upgrade to 4.4 [similar in openSuSE and Mandriva] when
logging in I either have to hit enter really quick or login screen
freezes. Autologin simply doesn't work. Oddly after login screen
freezes I can select Shutdown then Cancel and it will login to the
preselected user account.
/etc.../kdmrc has been edited to autologin one specific user and same
user with no pw [this being a one person box]. Should mention there are
3 user accounts in each distro. Autologin and login in general worked
normally until upgrading to KDE 4.4 [same in SuSE and Mandriva]. I've
been watching this list and don't recall seeing anything about this. Or
did I miss it? Admittedly I don't work in front of a computer all day
[printing pressman] and sometimes get busy and miss things... Though I
have searched Fedora, Mandriva, and KDE forums and KDE bugzilla some what.
