I have been a suser since 8.something. and i loved kde-x up to and including
kde3. i tried kde4 about a dozen times or so, every single time i could not
stomach more than an hour of it. I stayed with 11.1 and kde3 for the longest
time, my desktop still has a fully operational partition with it, but, after
i found out that i could start with a simple x setup and then add kde3, i
tried suse 11.4,12.1 and 12.2 up to m3. i used 12.1 for about 6 months as
the main system, but kmail stopped working for me and my digital camera could
not be read and the "my computer" icon on the desktop had changed to "storage
media" and a number of other smaller nuances eventually convinced me to go
back to 11.4, both on the laptop and the desktop. I knew the wifi on the
laptop would be a little difficult, but after half a day of trying i got the
broadcom wl driver all figured out, and , thanks to wicd my wifi has been
proven more reliable and more capable than any windoze or mac setup.
and everything works on both the laptop and the desktop, now both with 11.4 as
the main os, the *only* os on the laptop.
so there is a definite divide between 12.x suse and anything previous. and
kde3 seems to be less capable in anything 12.x. don't know if it is just hal,
but hal is definitely a problem spot.
but yesterday i did the latest kde3 upgrade on the desktop. Three *new*
things came up:
1. the haldaemon was *not* started automatically.
2. The video (latest nvidia driver for the 11.4 repo) started acting up once
in a while.
3. The "my computer" icon on the desktop was renamed to
"storage media" , clicking on it brings up the /media folder.
I was able to restart the haldaemon and it survived a reboot, but items 2 and
3 are still bugging my 11.4 desktop. The laptop does not have *any* problems.
can someone please suggest which kde3 module(s) should be rolled back in
order to resolve issues 2 && 3, or at least issue 3?
thanks in advance,
d.

I have tried again the knetworkmanager (I was using the nm-applet for some time due to memory leakage of the knetworkmanager) and found that, beside the memory leakage, which is still present (the knetworkmanager allocates more and more memory every time it connects to a network and releases it very seldom), there are some more diseases.
First, it does not change the system dock icon when the network cable is unplugged. It only do it when the computer has been hibernated/resumed or after it has found a new network and tries to connect.
Second, no notifications (either visual or sound) appear, as if it would not communicate events to the knotify.

As you know, GCC-4.7 has been recently pulled to Factory. This lead to build problems in multiple packages.
I already fixed the majority that has the most easy fixable errors, but there are still many packages that fail. Currently 17 KDE3
packages fail due to CCC-4.7 migration:
CodeAnalyst
kde3-directkonnect
kde3-kipi-plugins
kde3-kphotoalbum
kde3-krusader
kdebase3-SuSE
kdesdk3
kima
kmyfirewall
krecipes
kstopwatch
qalculate-kde
qbankmanager
qtstalker
rekall
tork
tulip
Any help in fixing these packages is appreciated.

Hello,
After a lot of headache because Qt3 dbus binding bugs, udisks2 support is
finally available.

Hello,
UDisks2 support for mediamanager is almost done, but at this moment is not
exactly fully usable because a severe bug in Qt3 DBus binding.
More precisely, Qt3 DBus binding fail to handle signals from dbus after
calling a method (in our case, mediamanager did not receive update about
mounting status, after calling Mount() and Umont() methods). I'm not sure yet
how and when I will be able to fix this.

Ilya,
In kwrite on 11.4, I configured the toolbar (Settings -> Configure Toolbar ->
Main Toolbar <kwrite>) and added 'New Document' to the toolbar in this order
(looking at the 'Current actions:' pane):
New
New Window
Open...
Open Recent
--- line separator ---
<snip>
Clicking the toolbar button for New Window created a duplicate window for the
current document. However - when I clicked the 'X' to close the new window, the
instance of kwrite crashed. The full backtrace is attached.

There is a problem with arts daemon (approximately since OpenSUSE 11.4; now I am using 12.1). When I set autosuspend delay to 5 seconds, some of sounds (e.g. beep when I press backspace on an empty line in xterm) disappear in five seconds after last use of any player application. When I unset autosuspend, artsd wastes about 5-7% of CPU. It seems like artsd grabs all sounds, including non-KDE ones. Does somebody know what to do?

Ilya,
I don't know what got reset with the last updates to 11.4, but now when I try
and open a man page in konqueror with either "#name" or "man://name" when I get
the links to the page, the links try and open in chromium -- how do I fix this?

Is there any way to convince firefox and thunderbird to use the kde3 "open
with" menu instead of the windozesque file manager window? all i want is to
open a file with kwrite. Currently the standard way would be to download the
file, open Konqueror, select the file and click the option in the
konquerror "open with" window. finding kwrite in file browser mode can be
quite a daunting task...

In the systray at my computer some icons are rescaled to the new size, but some (krusader, kpowersave) are deckled. I mean, the edges are cut off to fit an icon to the new size. Besides, it seems to be no way to control the size of icons in the system tray.
(Sorry, I often mistakenly answer the author rather than to the mailing list.)
