Hi, you are probably already aware of this but I thought it would be worthwhile to bring it to your attention. There is a new dependency for KDE starting with KDE 4.5, for dbusmenu-qt. Below is the announcement from the KDE mailing list, which includes more information. -Todd ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Aurélien Gâteau <aurelien.gateau@canonical.com> Date: 2010/4/25 Subject: New dependency for kdelibs and kdebase: dbusmenu-qt To: kde-core-devel@kde.org Hi, I just committed support for DBusMenu in kdelibs and kdebase. - In kdelibs, DBusMenu is used by KStatusNotifierItem to export their menus over DBus. - In kdebase, DBusMenu is used by the Plasma SystemTray applet to render the KStatusNotifierItem menus. The advantage of this new system is that the visualisation gets more control over the rendering of its items, compared to the previous implementation which asked the application to show their menu at a give position. It is also nice for users of libappindicator-enabled [1] GNOME applications, because the SystemTray menus of these applications will be rendered using a native KDE menu. This means to build kdelibs and kdebase you now need to install dbusmenu-qt. dbusmenu-qt tarballs are available here:  http://people.canonical.com/~agateau/dbusmenu/ You can also get the code from Gitorious:  http://gitorious.org/dbusmenu/ I am on holidays next week, but will check my mail from time to time in case there is any problem with this new dependency. I committed it now because dependency-freeze is tomorrow.
