Greetings,

This is a personal email directed to you for your consideration alone, I 
request that it remain and be treated as such only. Please bear with me for now 
and do not ask my name. I am a banker with HSBC in MALTA. I have an interesting 
business proposal for you that will be of immense benefit to both of us. 
Although this may be hard for you to believe, we stand to gain 7.2 million USD 
between us in a matter of days. Please grant me the benefit of doubt and hear 
me out. I need you to signify your interest by replying to this email.

Most importantly, I will need you to promise to keep whatever you learn from me 
between us even if you decide not to go along with me. I will make more details 
available to you on receipt of a positive response from you. Do contact me only 
at my private email address: privatepost...@hotmail.com

[Pkg-kde-extras] iceweasel-kde-support on Debian

2011-07-31 Thread Rafael Belmonte
Hello, I am mailing, KDE Extras Team, and Mozilla Team because my petition
is related to both teams.
This is to remember you about the existence of Kmozillahelper or also called
firefox-kde-support.
This is a package which provides Firefox (or Iceweasel in our case) a better
KDE integration and support, adding the following features:

* Getting proxy configuration
* Getting default applications by file extension, type, and protocol
* The Open with: dialog
* The file open dialog
* The file save dialog, with KIO network transparency
* The directory selection dialog
* Opening files with default applications
* Running applications
* Opening the default feed reader
* Opening the default mail client
* Opening the default news client
* Checking and setting the default web browser
* Showing KDE notifications on download completions

This is already being used in OpenSuse (which is also upstream), and also is
used in Kubuntu packaged as firefox-kde-support.
You can find upstream software here:
http://gitorious.org/firefox-kde-opensuse
And information about the Ubuntu package here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/kmozillahelper
The Debian Bug #608171 is also related to this matter.
The current KDE integration of Iceweasel has a lot to be desired compared
with the other mentioned distributions, please consider joining efforts to
make it better on Debian KDE desktop.
Thanks you very much.

Well, personally I would be kind of interested in seeing better iceweasel 
integration with KDE Platform. However:

1) as far as I can tell from #608171, some patch is needed for iceweasel. 
Unfortunately, iceweasel maintainers do not seem very fond of it. Personally, 
I'm not willing to invest my time into developing a better patch/solution for 
iceweasel.

2) ITP is already owned by P. J. McDermott. So unless this is a request for 
sponsorship or take over, I don't see how anybody from KDE maintainers can 
help here.
