"Configure Desktop" is KDE's configuration application. But Plasma5 doesn't respect KDE4's settings.
To configure Plasma5/Kwin5 use Plasma5's "Systemsettings" instead, it should be labelled "Systemsettings" in the application menu, it should be listed in the Favorites, and you can run it via "systemsettings5" in a terminal window or KRunner.
Thanks for the info. Really something that should be advertised as most upgraders will undoubtedly be looking for this, and it really is not obvious :^).
Yeah, I agree that this can lead to confusion.
You should be able to uninstall it though, it's the package kdebase4- workspace-addons, that's only required by kdebase4-workspace AFAICT.
It should maybe be removed automatically by the package dependencies, but then some of its stuff might still be relevant/needed for KDE4 applications. Half of the KDE applications are still based on KDE4 at the moment...
Yes, a great portion still relies on kde4
Only leaving such things as vlc/qps/gapcmon/... not showing on system tray
VLC is a Qt application and therefore its icon should appear in the system tray just fine. But it is hidden now by default (even in KDE4), that's maybe a change in VLC itself (probably because of the change to Qt5). Click on the up-arrow in the system tray to see it.
No, it does not display, hence my comment.
But then, Plasma5 does display its own mediaplayer control in the system tray automatically if you start VLC...
But only good for start/stop/fast-forward/fast-back, no volume, ...
For the rest, you can use other apps to display the old-style system tray icons, like wmsystemtray and icewmtray. The former is actually recommended by Martin Graesslin, one of the main KWin developers: http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/
I will try wmsystray (and/or perhaps icewmtray).
And this post from the Plasma-devel mailinglist might even suggest that it may be bundled with Plasma5 itself: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2015-May/041307.html
and yakuake not able to use current konsole (the worst discovered hit for me).
There is a KF5 port of yakuake already which does use the KF5 based konsole, but that's not been released yet. It's just a matter of time though...
Looking forward to that release. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
