Rearranging icons in the Sytem Tray
by Patrick O'Callaghan
The order of icons in the KDE System Tray seems fairly arbitrary. I
imagine it depends on the start-up order of the various pieces that the
icons correspond to, but I haven't checked. Be that as it may, it would
be nice to be able to re-order them, and for KDE to remember the order,
the same way one can re-arrange the Panel icons.
I can't see an obvious way to do this. Any thoughts?

K3B 1.68 and EasyRPM
by Diego
Hello everybody!
I updated K3B using kde-unstable from 1.66 to 1.68 and now, when I try
to start it I get (if I start it from the command line, elseway it fails
silently) this error and it doesn't start:
k3b: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libk3b.so.6: undefined symbol:
_ZNK16QAbstractSpinBox16inputMethodQueryEN2Qt16InputMethodQueryE
Any clue anyone?
On another unrelated note, if you haven't noticed yet there's a new Qt
4.x tool to ease the process of creating rpm specs:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/EasyRPM?content=114271&PHPSESSID=8ce...
Hope it helps! :)

No authentication in Systemsetting -> Printer Configuration
by Martin Kho
Hi,
In System Settings -> Printer Configuration I tried to change some Options.
This action needs root access, but no authentication pop up box appears.
Instead I get:
"There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden'."
Using "system-configure-printer" gives an authentication pop up box.
I'm running fedora 11, kde 4.3.1-9 (x86_64)
Anyone else seeing this? Do I miss a package, have something wrongly configured
or is it just a bug?
Thanks,
Martin Kho

Second qt 4.6 update
by Anne Wilson
Updating on the netbook, once again. As before, Korganizer would open as a
stand-alone, but crashed Kontact. Removing korganizerrc cured the problem.

Possible problem with qt 4.6.0 and compositing.
by Eli Wapniarski
Hi All
Just a heads up cause I haven't finished my diagnostics. But I suspect that there is a problem with the qt 4.6.9 and kwin compositing....
OBSERVATIONS
------------------
Been playing a full screen game under wine quiet frequently. Now... thankfully I am able to play the game across both my screens (2560x1024) without X crashing. Dunno if its because of improvements with newer versions of NVidia driver, KDE 4.3.2 or because of qt 4.6.0. In any case. The problem is that the game freezes after awhile. Checked to make sure there wasn't some problem because of the screen resolution and reverted back to 1280x1024 the game still froze. Then I checked if the freeze was caused by an update to the video driver so I reverted back to an older version of the driver which I know that the game played without freezing.. But, unfortunately the game froze again. So I completely switched off kde desktop effects (compositing) and no more freezes.
I now need to revert back to the older version of qt and see what happens. Until the qt update I have had no freezing.
So.... just giving everyone a heads up and will report back here within a day or two.

KDE4 print dialog does not have "Range" option
by Reuben D. Budiardja
Hello,
It seems that KDE4 print dialog does not have the "Range" option that was in
KDE 3.5. Under Option, Copies tab, it only has radio button for "Print all" or
"Pages from: .. to ..". This is a regression of functionality, since in KDE
3.5, I can for example set and print the pages: 1-3,5,8-11; but not in KDE4.
Is this correct or am I missing something ?
Is there bug report associated with this missing functionality ? I tried to
search but didn't find anything.
Thanks.

Is there any way to make GTK apps look nicer by default under KDE?
by Mary Ellen Foster
I just installed fresh Rawhide on a new computer yesterday, and I
noticed that under the default configuration, GTK apps look fairly
ugly, with grey blocky buttons and UI components and so on. If I
install gtk-qt-engine, it initially has an empty space as the selected
theme; if I then choose "Clearlooks" as the GTK theme and restart KDE,
things look much nicer than whatever default thing was there before.
Is it possible to do something in this direction by default? Much as I
like KDE, I really can't avoid using Eclipse pretty much every day at
work, and it would be nice if it looked good by default.

= Agenda =

* Eigen2 (2.0.x vs. 2.1 snapshots, updating to current)
* NM applet (GNOME nm-applet vs. knetworkmanager)
* bug triage changes coming
* phonon/trunk , PA-integration work/testing
= Summary =
o virtuoso/soprano status:
* RexDieter is working on new releases of virtuoso and libiodbc.
* Test builds should appear in kde-testing (from kde-redhat) soon.
o Eigen2 (2.0.x vs. 2.1 snapshots, updating to current):
* F12 is shipping a 4 mounths old snapshot of 2.1 (the final isn't released
yet).
* F10/F11 are also shipping out-of-date 2.0.3 as updates (current is 2.0.6).
* RexDieter will ask upstream for a recommendation.
* Current plan is to ship 2.0.6 for F10/F11/F12 and 2.0.90 for F13.
* This would mean to downgrade eigen2 in F12 and rebuild depending packages
(kdeartwork, kdeedu, kdeplasma-addons, avogadro).
o NM applet (GNOME nm-applet vs. knetworkmanager):
* Results from a vote from KDE-SIG Steering Committee:
- Switch to KNetworkManager for F12 (i.e. now): rejected
- Stay wit nm-applet in F12 and switch to KNetworkManager in F13/Rawhide:
accepted
o bug triage changes coming:
* The triage team will be using the keyword Triaged instead of the ASSIGNED
status to indicate triaged bugs from F13 on.
* The maintainers decide to use ASSIGNED or ON_DEV instead.
* For now there was no result how we should handle this and we will continue
the discussion later.
o phonon/trunk , PA-integration work/testing:
* RexDieter imported a Phonon trunk snapshot into the devel branch.
* KevinKofler is going to look into getting PA integration into
devel/Rawhide++/F13.
o Open discussion:
* StephenParrish is working on new KPackageKit 0.5 in F12 and F13/Rawhide.
