You can use Synaptiks or kcm_touchpad (I had the best luck with the former) from kde4:community repository - or Touchfreeze from Packman repository.
So.... to accommodate the Gnome standard the KDE users have to install a community package from a community repo? That seems like a poor decision.
No. In 11.2 KDE doesn't do anything, because nobody told us that X itself (i.e. + SaX) won't handle its own setup anymore. But as this is only for 11.3 and we've been told this time, we will most probably include one of the KDE tools officially.
I guess there's a pretty good chance that 11.3 KDE will have one of the KDE tools included in the main distro, which should help/remove the need for changing the defaults.
That shouldn't be a "pretty good chance"... that should be an absolute must! As Stefan said, no matter what is done, it'll be wrong to half the people. If KDE has a Configure Desktop option for this, at least those who want it can toggle it back on.
In the bug, Stefan said touchpad tap is disabled in KDE... was this actually checked? I've looked at two more laptops running KDE4 default installs... and all have touchpad tap *enabled*.
As I said, KDE doesn't do anything with it, it's the X default in 11.2. If you don't like the default in to-be-11.3, take it back to the original bugreport that caused the change of it in X. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
