No I mean just change kwin to compiz in the drop box on 11.0 with kde4 factory desktop. The change cannot be saved on 11.0 and kde4 factory -- period. Did you read the bug? See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198125
you want a screenshot of your desktop say with the compiz expo plugin -- you can't, Hmm what d'you know, ksnapshot works fine. Compiz isn't part of kde4 - I use kwin, or I'd switch to compiz to test this out as well.
Try it with the compiz "Expo" plugin with the top-left screen corner as the activation for the plugin. What was simple basic functionality in kde3 ksnapshot, cannot be done in kde4 ksnapshot. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198112 For most other purposes kde4 ksnapshot works just fine. No matter what weasel words you want to put on in, you cannot take the snapshot with kde4 ksnapshot that you could easily take with kde3 ksnapshot. That is the bug.
you want to insert kate snippets that have escape codes in it, now they hose the editor window because the escape codes are applied to the editor window instead of simply inserted at text, I use kwrite, but I installed kate just to test this. Worked perfectly fine.
Did you try it with color \033 escape codes in your snipped? The actual snippet containing the simple bash escape codes that don't work in kde4 kate is provided in the .kde4/share/config/katesnippetspluginrc as an attachment to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200935 The attachment is: https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=35497 Install the attached katesnippetspluginrc and try and insert the 'colors' snippet. Works in kde3, broken in kde4. It needs to be fixed or all bash programmers can just kiss-off that functionality in kde4. I don't mean to belittle your response, but I am so sick and tired of hearing "WORKS FOR ME" when the developers haven't even taken the time to read the bug report and test the scenario. I don't mean you Nkoli, but the type of response you gave is the exact type of response a majority of the kde4 developers give to justify leaving the problem broken and unfixed. kde4 will never measure up if that attitude doesn't change.
Sounds like your problem is with your setup, not with the desktop environment.
Setup is fine, take another look at the bug actual reports and you can confirm for yourself each of the bits of broken functionality instead of testing an unrelated example and dismissing with "WORKS FOR ME" as seems to be the overriding mindset of many of the kde4 devs. People dedicated their time to provide test cases so that bugs can be fixed and kde4 can be made better for all. -- David C.
