Bug#244547: further work
Hi, In a further attempt to solve this problem I have purged all kde packages and their configuration files; removed all local configuration files; ensured my package lists were up-to-date ind re-installed only konqueror (bringing with it kcontrol as a dependency). The problem remains - there are no options for configuration. This renders all kde web applications unusable, as I cannot configure a proxy; and all kde apps in general ugly, as I cannot configure a style :-) Any help or advice is greatly appreciated as konqueror was my primary web browser. -- Jonathan Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/

ok, applied. For Oswald, or other KDE'ers, I'd also like to suggest this information be incorporated into the kdm manual. Currently it has no mention of reserve. there are two reasons for this. the first one is the constant lack of somebody capable of updating the doc in a useful way. the second one is, that the reserve display feature is only semi-official as of now - i want proper desktop integration (gui for switching displays in kicker, kdesktop and kdesktop_lock), and an interactive shutdown protection in kdm to prevent users from nuking forgotten sessions.

Great, I don't know if you caught it, but I had a typo in the last line of my patch, leaving out the l in xdmctl. I've attached a revised patch that fixes that, does away with escaping the ':' in the file names (I'm not sure whether that's an improvement) and adds a note to be careful when shutting down sessions, in line with your comments below.

Re: k3b splash screen wont go away before I click on it
Does the splash screen go away if you switch to another desktop and then back? I'm having this problem, and that's what fixes it for me. On Thursday 06 May 2004 4:55 pm, Greg Cockburn wrote: Yes, kind of. My k3b will do all sorts of weird things. Usually the splash screen goes away eventually, but takes quit a while, at a guess up to about 1 minute. Then I get some weird errors. The problem is, I can not reproduce it successfully, it is random. When it works it works great. One thing I found yesterday, was that having a mounted cd really upset it on startup.

Text Boundaries?
Whenever I see screen shots where objects in a window are partially hidden other objects, my tolerance meter begins to redline. This picture, http://www.kde-apps.org/content/preview.php?preview=1file=11204-1.pngname=kbootsplash, is not a choice but rather the first example I saw today that enabled me to intellectually define and express this rant. Examine the label Ihre Systemauflosung (Literally, Their system on draw, i.e. Screen size) on the right of the window. There is only a trace of what appears to be a g. The window should automatically resize itself to fit the size and placement of the text. My idea is for the entire window to be a self-referential entity. This refers to each object in the window to be aware of the size, shape, placement, etc. of all other objects in the window. Given a defined object such as the check-box with a label: ( ) Choice A. Can a program be aware of the boundaries of the imaginary rectangle surrounding ( ) Choice A? This will involve text content, text size, size of the button (circle), distance between the button and the label, etc. The goal is to be able to throw a set of text and controls at a window. Automatically, they will all be properly positioned with spacing between them that would be dependant on text size, font used, etc. to create an aesthetic-appearing window. Comments to this message are welcome. Is this only a personal issue or an undelying issue of Qt? -- The content of the message is a reflection only of the writer and not that of ATT or Tybrin.

With wxWidgets this is called sizers. The window then automatically scales to let everything fit in if used properly. QT has same abilities (should be that one: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/geomanagement.html). However, some GUI programmers either do not know this or simply don't do it right. Konqueror has some usability problems here, too. Not hidden, but having text 0-pixels above a picture is not very readable (e.g. at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/47178) However, in Konquerors settings dialog, you can see the automatic resizing. Bad thing that exactly there, it is bad behaviour: it should be the maximum needed size for _all_ components from the start. I agree that if the KDE team has a QA, it needs some improvement ;) but I do not really care about that as long as it mainly works. However, with your screenshot example, you targetted the completely wrong group: it is not part of KDE but can be found at http://kbootsplash.sourceforge.net. Maybe you want to drop the author a note.
