[opensuse-kde3] KDE3 session starts Plasma as well
by Julius Schwartzenberg 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi, I just added KDE3 to my system with OpenSUSE 42.3. I had been using KDE Plasma 5 on it before. Logging out and relogging with a KDE3 in gave me this: https://schwart6.home.xs4all.nl/kde3-with-plasmabar.png (Two panels, one KDE3 kicker and the Plasma panel.) This does not really make sense I'd say. Is this a bug or should I change something to prevent this?

[opensuse-kde3] Problem with mc in kde3 konsole
by Mark Goldstein 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hi all, I need some advice on how to investigate the problem I see. On TW and Leap15 midnight commander does not react correctly on mouse buttons clicks. It works fine in leap 42.3 (and worked before as well). TW has mc version 4.8.21, leap15 uses v4.8.20. leap 42.3 has v4.8.15. Version of konsole is the same in all systems: 1.6.6, gpm is also the same, 1.20.7. The issue is that mouse button click is not handled as expected (e.g. move cursor to other line or other panel) and second click on … [View More]

Hi Ray, Thanks for your reply. I tried out some of your advive but it doesn't solve it. The problem is not with the X server because Compose works in non-KDE3 applications like xterm or GTK applications like gvim. It fails only with KDE3 applications like konsole or kate. The problem lies with how KDE3 applications handle signals. As I wrote in my previous e-mail, if I `ssh localhost` and then start a new konsole (as if I was logging in remotely), then Compose works in that new konsole. … [View More]This is a workaround for now, but I would like to understand what the difference is between a KDE3 app started directly and started after `ssh localhost`. It might have something to do with DCOP. What does DCOP do? If somebody with KDE3 development experience could please give me advice, it would be appreciated.

[opensuse-kde3] Missing writing accents
by Helga Fischer 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hello List, how can I get back the ability writing accents on my KDE3-desktop? My System is openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3 (3.5.10 release 262) from inofficial Suse-repos. I'm using the keyboard layout with dead keys. Under KDE4 all applications can work with accents. Under KDE3 there is no application writing accents. Writing accents is active (kcontrol). Any hints (or is this behaviour a bug)?. Thanks, Helga -- ## Technik: [http://de.opensuse.org] ## Privat: [http://www.eschkitai.de] -- … [View More]
