ALT-TAB Switching Over All Deskops
by Randall R Schulz 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi, Since my upgrade to KDE 3.5.2 I see that ALT-TAB is listing only windows for the current virtual desktop. I have eight desktops and tend to keep a single application in each, most of the time. To make ALT-TAB useful, I need to reinstate the option I had before, which was to have all windows on all desktops presented in the ALT-TAB window switcher. I cannot find that option in the maze of settings that is the KDE control center. I thought it was the "Traverse windows on all desktops" option in the "Focus" tab in the "Window Behavior" subsection of the "Desktop" settings section, but even when enabled, the behavior I had before does not result. Can someone help me reinstate ALT-TAB switching across all desktops? Thanks. Randall Schulz

Java
by Jean-Pierre Abgottspon 02 Apr '06

Hi, My wish is to program in Java... 1. Within Konqueror's options one can activate a 'Java' (+Javascript) option. Does that suffice to start using Java as a program language somehow ? 2. Should one rather use YAST to install 'Java 2' from a CD to have things running somewhat easier ? Newbie. Don't knock if the above does not make sense. TKS in advance.

monospaced font fehlt
by Christian Fröbel 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Moin, ich habe gerade frisch SuSE 10.0 OSS installiert, incl. KDE. Jetzt möchte ich gerne den Fixed-Width-Font über das Control Center ändern. Dort kann man neben "Fixed width" z. B. auch noch die Fonts für "General", "Toolbar" usw. einstellen. Die Auswahllisten, die ich bekomme, wenn ich auf "Choose" klicke, sind immer gleich -- nur nicht bei "Fixed width"; dort fehlt unter anderem gerade der Font, den ich einstellen will: "SuSE Sans Mono". Warum kann ich den überall wählen, nur nicht da, wo's Sinn macht? Oder gibt's einen anderen Trick? thx, Christian

Konqueror and tabs
by ianseeks 02 Apr '06

HI All, I'm using Suse 9.3 and KDE 3.5.2. Although I have set Konq to open all new links in tabs, it will alway open it in the same window (unless i right click the mouse and select it that way). I am sure this was not the way it worked in previous versions. Anyone else experiencing this? regards Ian

KDE 3.5.2 Control Center Admin Mode Broken?
by Heinrich Eidloth 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hello Randall, I had the same problem under SuSE 9.3 after updating KDE to version 3.5.2. I found, that the program kdesu of KDE 3.5.2 is missing an option "-n". As workaround I copied the kdesu version from KDE 3.5.1. Both kdesu versions (KDE 3.5.2 and 3.5.1) reprting themselves as version 1.0. Hope this will help a little bit Regards Heinrich

no Administrator Mode after update to KDE 3.5.2
by Heinrich Eidloth 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello folks, I have update my KDE 3.5.1 (SuSE 9.3) to 3.5.2. From now on I can not use the Administrator Mode in the Control Center of KDE any more. Also it is no longer possible, to install RPMs via Konqueror (yast). After some playing around with kcmshell and kdesu I got the message, that the option "-n" of kdesu is unknown. Testing the same with an elder SuSE (9.1 with KDE 3.4) kdesu have this option "-n". Does anyone have an idea or hint how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance Heinrich

How is KDE 3.5.2 ??
by Bob S 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello SuSE KDE people, Running 10.0 Have been doing regular updates with apt. I had upgraded KDE 3.4 to 3.5.1 and had problems with Kmail and not being able to access the addressbook correctly for addressing the "To" recipient. (Reported as a bug) I reverted to 3.4.2 so Kmail would work properly. Now KDE 3.5.2 has been released. I am reluctant to upgrade because of the problem with 3.5.1. Has anyone out there upgraded and found that the Kmail bug was fixed? I hate to just try it and find out I have to revert again. That is a big PITA. Thanks guys. Comments appreciated. Bob S.
