with the clock, any plasma clock, it's because they show you the calendar if you click on them, that's why they need akonadi. somebody would have to produce a clock that doesn't connect to the calendar to avoid that. i don't know if that could be done via config. files, or if one needed to hack the actual code. i guess KDE or KDE-dev mailing list could shed some light, if they wanted.
Fir enough, but you are missing my point. There are many more in plasma-addons that DON'T need nepomuk/akondai. I already have a clock on my bottom panel that doesn't need them. The reason I mentioned the clock in plasma-addons was that it needed phonon. That's reasonable. But then again, the one on my bottom panel doesn't because it doesn't have an option to speak. Which gets back to my point about packaging. -- Bullet proof vest vendors do not need to demonstrate that naked people are vulnerable to gunfire. Similarly, a security consultant does not need to demonstrate an actual vulnerability in order to claim there is a valid risk. The lack of a live exploit does not mean there is no risk. - Crispin Cowan, 23 Aug 2002 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
