[opensuse-kde] KPager & Konqueror
I just installed OpenSUSE 11.1 (downloaded last friday from the OpenSUSE.org website, and allowing all the updates). In KDE 3.5 (the one I'm used to using) it's possible via the pager to have different backgrounds on different desktops. I know it's a silly little thing but it does make it easier for me to remember what I'm doing where, and it looks cooler for everyone I show it to. Is this ever going to appear in KDE 4.x? Another question: I tried to search the forums but just couldn't get a picture that I could accurately reproduce the letter/number combo to search. That's not the question, the question is why doesn't Konqueror play Flash Video? You Tube clips show up, but when I click the play button, I just get a white image where the player was. :( They play fine in Firefox on the same desktop. This is with KDE 4.x and the Konqueror that belongs to 4.x Thanks Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Thanks... Refreshing several times gets (usually, sometimes I get a SIGSEV or whatever error) the video to play. I don't spend a lot of time watching videos.... yet. Another addiction in the making... anyone have any ideas on KPAGER and multiple desktop backgrounds? I've fallen back to KDE3.5 (which as someone else noted has no screensavers...) on OpenSUSE 'cuz of this, and went to OpenSUSE after using Fedora 10. Not just for this, Fedora requires too much tweeking... Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

In KDE4.x to have multiple desktop backgrounds you need to use multiple plasma activities (which can also have different plasma widgets), not pager desktops. The distinction is not completely clear to users unfortunately but you need to click add activity (I think in the desktop "cashew" toolbox) and then you can set a different background for the new activity. To switch between activities, either use Ctrl+Shift+N (next activity) and Ctrl+Shift+P (previous activity), zoom in/out with the desktop toolbox, or add the activity tabbar widget to your panel/desktop. Hope this answers your question as to where this feature went. I am hoping that in the future the idea of multiple virtual desktops will get merged with the multiple activities idea, so its not so confusing and so you can use the pager ... Activities are more powerful than the old multiple desktops because of the plasma widgets, but the pager uses the old multiple desktops not activities, and there is no assigning windows to certain activities. And with your firefox/konqueror flash plugin issue, if you are getting different results with the two browsers, I would first check if Firefox (look in about:plugins) and Konqueror are using the same libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib(64)/browser-plugins, not e.g. a custom-installed one in your Firefox profile.
