Well the KDE Plasma Workspace 4.6 announcement links to this blog entry 
which I read by then:

http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2010/10/optimization-in-kwin-4-6/

That should explain the performance improvements.

New activitiy system

2011-04-08 Thread Martin Steigerwald
Hi!

I happen to like the improved activity system, which lets me associate 
windows / applications to activities. Then I can press stop on one 
activity and it stops all apps associated to it. When I press play again 
it starts them again.

The only culprits so far are:

- the activity list applet takes too much space when I put it into the 
control panel

- I didn't yet found a keyboard shortcut to switch between activities

- so mouse wheel on free desktop space is currently the only quick way to 
switch between them

- my communication activity tends to have problems to startup kmail 
properly sometimes

Does anyone know a better activity switcher applet or a way to make a 
keyboard shortcut or tell kwin's present window effect to show windows of 
all activities - ideally sorted by activity?

Well might be that some of my wishes will be in KDE 4.7 then.

Ciao,

Putting the brakes on the mouse

2011-04-08 Thread Michael Schuerig

Recently I've been using a vintage Logitech optical mouse, but I have 
been looking for another mouse for a long time. I had a SteelSeries 
Kinzu, which was nice, but in less than a year its left button was 
broken (first time for me in over 25+ years of using mice).

Today I got a Microsoft Arc Mouse, despite it being branded by the evil 
empire. The first thing I noticed is that due to its high resolution it 
is much too sensitive. System Settings > Mouse > Advanced has a setting 
for the pointer acceleration, but even at 0.1, the lowest possible 
setting, the mouse pointer is still too fast for me.

A bit of searching turned up the xinput utility and a way to slow the 
eager rodent down.

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer  id=2[master pointer  
...
⎜   ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v5.0  id=18   [slave  
pointer  (2)]
...

$ xinput set-prop "Microsoft Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v5.0" "Device 
Accel Constant Deceleration" 5

I haven't yet decided where this last line ought to go to make it 
permanent, and anyway, I think it is a kludgy solution. The KDE 
configuration tools ought to be able to set up a modern, high-resolution 
mouse. Are there non-KDE tools for this task?

I remember 15 years back on Mac System 7 it was possible to define 
multiple thresholds and acceleration factors. Does X support this, too, 
even if there may not be a configuration GUI?

Michael

Have you tried to upgrade to KDE 4.6?

Many people reported improved performance under KDE 4.6 Kwin's and I read that 
there a lot of other bugfixes as well.

I can report that on my Intel card it improved a lot.

You can upgrade to KDE 4.6 following the instructions on this page http://qt-
kde.debian.net/, so far I've upgraded on three computers and it was really 
smooth.


Have a great day,

Josep

KDM doesn't work

2011-04-08 Thread Torquil Macdonald Sørensen
Hi all!

I have installed the KDE 4.6.1 from http://qt-kde.debian.net/ onto my Sid.

However, kdm will not start. After booting, when X is started, I'm simply 
dropped back into text mode.

In /var/log/syslog I found the following error message:

Apr  8 21:20:51 asus kdm: :0[1839]: Received unknown or unexpected command -2 
from greeter
Apr  8 21:20:51 asus kdm: :0[1839]: Abnormal termination of greeter for 
display :0, code 1, signal 0

Any ideas? Meanwhile I'm using XDM as a substitute.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen

Suspend to memory in KDE

2011-04-08 Thread Liang Guo
Hi, All

I'm using a HP 6515b laptop, when I use K Menu -> Leave -> Sleep(Suspend to
memory) to suspend my laptop, I need wait more than 1 minutes(some time about 5
minutes) before suspend complete. How can I trace this problem? 

I can use echo "mem" > /sys/power/state and main menu in Gnome to suspend to
memory with in 10 seconds.

Thanks,

KDE uses pm-suspend, which does more than just echo "mem" >
/sys/power/state. Though I think Gnome uses it too. Do you use KDE 4.4 or
4.6?
