Hi people. I suggest you all to subscribe to opensuse-kde3(a)opensuse.org so I
could send e-mails directly to this mailing list.
I have several questions, suggestions and clarifications regarding status
of KDE:KDE3.
- First of all I have to announce that we completed for the most part moving
of packages from KDE:Communitry. It has been done much quicker than by
the KDE4 team. Some packages are not moved because they have problems either
with build or during runtime. Some packages like ksquirrel have well-known
security issues. I do not know should we include them in KDE:KDE3 or not.
- It seems that some packages were disabled for Factory. Namely,
kdemultimedia3 and anything related to Beagle. Please tell me the actual
reason or the disabling. I can add to KDE:KDE3 repository any libraries
needed for the build. For example, I can restore kdemultimedi3. Or are there
any other reasons for the disabling? Beagle in particular is essential for
finding topics in KDE help system.
- I am planning to add some soft dependencies to some basic KDE packages
to improve user's experience. For example, it would be good in my view if
kdebase3-workplace recommended kde3-knemo and desktoptext-config.
Also some plugins may be recommended. Please tell me if this is against
OpenSUSE packaging policy.
- I have long-range plans to include Qt3-based versions of Yast2, VirtualBox
and Firefox. If somebody has experience in compiling Firefox for Qt3, any
help welcome.
- OpenSUSE maintainers, what's your opinion about possibility
to include KDE3 option to OpenSUSE? The basic part of KDE3 (including kicker,
konq, ksysguard, kcontrol) is already included (to be precise, it was never
removed from OpenSUSE), but the ability to logon on KDE3 is disabled.
The status of KDE3 repository has improved considerably in recent times,
so it may look reasonable to reconsider KDE3's status. To enable a user to
install KDE3 on his system we need to include only a tiny package
kdebase3-session which takes only 4 kb, this package includes the .desktop
file for the session manager so the user could choose KDE3 on the logon
screen.
- Besides this one can consider including KDE:KDE3 repository in the list
of community repositories along with the Education repo etc so a user could
be able to install the full version of KDE3 from the community repo.
- Some KDE3 packages (koffice, pdfedit) currently experience problems
with building for Factory 32-bit architecture. This is not a KDE3 bug, but
an issue of brocken zlib in Factory, it was also observed on other
distributions. I have reported a bugreport:

I use KDE3 on 32 bit 11.2. I just did zypper dup yet again, which seems
required more than weekly for many weeks now.
Every login is accompanied by the login sound being cut short, and the
KNotify window opening and reporting useless backtrace & "system
configuration startup check disabled". What needs to be done to make this not
happen any more?

Ilya, Robert, all,
Does anyone have a repository that would work better for updating kde3 on 11.0
than the sle-11 repo?

The clutter was more or less a necessity dictated by desire for many samples.
I've since opened grsync, which seems to conform only in the main menu, with
smaller most places that count. I've never before opened it.

http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html was in the SeaMonkey window
to report DPI & such. The other http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/rudeweb.html in FF &
Konz was just what I already had loaded and used mainly the browser default
sizes.
ATM, gnome-settings-daemon is not running here. I'll bet it doesn't start by
itself there either, but gets started if you open gnome-control-center, after
which your GTK fonts enlarge.

Hello SuSE KDE3 people,
I am sight impaired. All of my fonts are pretty large so that I can read them,
except for Firefox and other GTK applications. I am talkingabout the fonts in
the task bars, menus, etc.
In my personal settings > Appearance > GTK styles I have tried using the "Use
my KDE fonts" and other variations. To no avail. Nothing changes.
I remember back in about the 9.0 days there was a file or something you could
download or edit or something that you could change the appearance of theGTK
stuff. Is there some equivalent was to do it now?

Great thanks to Malcolm Lewis, we now have Qt3-version of FreeCAD. He made a
number of very difficult patches to comply with newer GCC, FHS etc.

Could be an accidental click on something obscure. I have no idea what that
may be. If it only happens when you login as yourself but not logged in as
root or an alternate user, you should be able to solve it by resetting your
all your KDE3 personalizations. To do that, log out of X, switch to any of
the virtual consoles and log in, then delete ~/.kde, then log back into X.
You'll have to redo most of your desktop personalizations, but that should
kill the subject problem.

Hello KDE3 people,
I'm running KDE3 on openSUSE 11.3. A strange thing has popped up on my
desktop. If I minimize an application it does not show up in the taskbar. It
just dissapears. I have 4 virtual desktops which I can choose from on the
taskbar.
I have been trying things in Personal Settings but don't know if that caused
it. I have been going over settings for hours without any luck at finding the
solution. The app is not closing because if I mouse-over a window (pager) in
the task bar it shows the app name temporarily. But opening the corresponding
desktop it does not show the opened app. This condition happens whether the
taskbar shows permanently or hidden.
Ideas, solutions?

I've ported QtParted from Fedora 15. You are welcome to test.
But there is at least one issue: it always uses Plastik style despite system
settings. I saw screenshots in the Internet where it uses different styles.
So it you know how to make it use system style, please tell me.
