Should you not be using ktrader to request an object that can handle
mimetype text/html and provides a kpart interface? This would give you
a khtmlpart but if, in future there were multiple providers it would
give you whichever is 'best'.
This code should do what you want:
KTrader::OfferList offers = KTrader::self()->query("text/html",
"'KParts/ReadOnlyPart' in
ServiceTypes");
KLibFactory *factory = 0;
// in theory, we only care about the first one.. but let's try all
// offers just in case the first can't be loaded for some reason
KTrader::OfferList::Iterator it(offers.begin());
for( ; it != offers.end(); ++it) {
KService::Ptr ptr = (*it);
// we now know that our offer can handle HTML and is a part.
// since it is a part, it must also have a library... let's try
to
// load that now
factory = KLibLoader::self()->factory( ptr->library() );
if (factory) {
m_html = static_cast(factory->create(this,
ptr->name(), "KParts::ReadOnlyPart"));
break;
}
}

In theory yes, however you would just be representing the results in a different manner. And as there are potentially millions of results from a google query youd have to adapt the results in some manner to make them more presentable. I dont really see the point as 99% of the results you get are just html files. > You would be able to enter a search: "music by Beethoven" or "messages from > Donna".

This is possible and has already exists in a variety of forms. The implementation problems however are considerable. If you do a full such for each query then the time to results could be considerable. Or alternatively, you have to keep some indexed database of meta data, which means having both a data base layer and the meta data itself. For some files like mp3s they already contain metadata, so that isnt a huge issue. However you would have to implement a metadata schema that covers all types of files (how can you do a search for "images of a tree" for instance without very very complex image analysis and AI object recognition, this is incredibly difficult and something i have worked on in the past). > I know this is a very basic question but much of the concept of "Storage > for KDE" is beyond me at the moment. Most of the hype about storage is its query mechanism rather than anything else. It seems just to be a keyword search which picks up on the context of a word in the query as well as the keyword itself. i.e it interprets "image of" as "files of type image/*" rather than "files containing the word image".

kmail openpgp plugin problems
Firstly, i set up everything exactly as the aegypten projects website describes except using pinentry-gtk instead of qt as reccomended by ralf, and btw im using ralfs debs. I also have been using the same gpg setup for a long time without problems from the command line. Strange problem, i can encrypt emails fine, im not asked for a password and all works well, to myself and to others. However i can sign messages, i get a pop up box saying : This message could not be signed! The Crypto Plug-In '/usr/lib/cryptplug/gpgme-openpgp.so' reported the following details: #19 : No Passphrase Your configuration might be invalid or the Plug-In damaged. Please contact your system administrator. Also, when recieving an encrypted message i get: Cannot decrypt message. Error: No passphrase. Content could *not* be decrypted. reason: Crypto Plug-In /usr/lib/cryptplug/gpgme-openpgp.so could not decrypt the data. proposal: Error: No passphrase. End of encrypted message Like i say, it works encrypting, but not decrypting or signing, and im never asked for my passphrase. I am definately using the plugin and not the inline version (i activated the plugin and in the new message dialog it now defaults to "OpenPGP (plugin)". Any Ideas? Thanks Tom

KMail is designed so it can never be set to automatically open attachments for security reason, regardless of their type. However it _should_ be inlining pictures where they are included as attachments. You may need to set to view as html for this (if you turn of load external references, this should not cause any security concern). Tom

You will probably find it works well with either postscript or truetype fonts, and badly with the other (i forget which way round). Printing to file makes no difference as the same postscript is still generated. Kword has been plagued by problems with its printing system, most of which have been cleared up. If your not using the latest version it would definately be worth upgrading. I personally have always found openoffice.org to be better (albeit slower and less kde integrated) than koffice, in terms of features and reliability. Although it does need some LD_PRELOAD= and interface font changes before it works well for me. Tom

Like i said, kde3 isnt in woody, its not even in unstable yet. Many people use it on woody and unstable without any problems. Im personally running kde 3.1 on unstable here and have never had any trouble with kde, bar a missing package which karolina fixed promptly once i had notified her. A package system is only as good as the packages available for it. In this respect debian beats the hell out of every other distro ive ever uses. Debian developers go to great lengths to produce good quality packages with sensible and acurate dependency information. I can apt-get distupgrade unstable every day without a hitch hardly ever. When i was trying to keep up with mandrake cooker (their equivalent of unstable) i was constantly having to force package installs as the dependency information was always being broken. Ive also never had a succesful upgrade between distribution versions of any mandrake or redhat release, but with debian it is simple. If your using packages not provided by debian developers as part of debian, you cant seriously expect there not to be issues, however most of the issues are incredibly simple to resolve, and people on these lists will go out of their way to help you.

Jedit is a very good text editor written in Java so it will run on many platforms (ive used it on solaris big iron machines and linux pcs). As its a java app though it is slow to load, and uses quite a lot of ram. It does have a very good feature set however, and many good plugins for project management, cvs integration, auto formatting etc. See www.jedit.org if your interested.

Yeah, i looked through the files in the packages before i had a chance to check my mail :) It seems very unfinished which is a shame, because it looks promising, it even mentions my website in the documentation :) Any chance (if you have time) you could produce debs for the current stable kdevelop also as that would be very very appreciated.

You need to edit your /etc/ppp/options file an have the option noauth (i think it is commented out by default). Also make sure there is no 'auth' option somewhere else in the file.

I have never had any problem with this across kde 1/2/3. Do you have an exceptionally large number of keys stored, or some weird configuration options for GPG? Do you also have a keyserver setup for GPG to use? Its possible it is trying to remotely pull a key, without a server, and is synchronsing with a while() rather than semaphores or something.

kdm seems to have died?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just updated the new kde3 packages (as of today) and it seems that kdm has stopped loading on boot up. It works fine when started with both "/etc/init.d/kdm start" or just "kdm", but it wont load on boot. The link is in my /etc/rcX.d (specifically 2 in my case, and its an S* not a K*) and i havent changed anything. Ive looked at the script, and there is nothing that appears wrong, i even get "starting kde desktop manager" appear in the console. Im happy to provide any more info if needed.

Re: Mouse problem

It stems from certain combinations of graphics cards and ps2 controllers. Even using software mouse emulation it will not fix the problem. I did find that suspending to disk would fix the problem temporarily, and it seems (not measured in any way, just my general feel) that the problem exhibits itself much less in X 4.2.0 There are debian packages for this version of X, search on google and you will find them.
