I hadn't tried this myself earlier because I had assumed that the variable has to be set *before* the test executable is run, but that's obviously wrong ;-) Maybe it would be even better to always test both things (i.e., that signals are emitted when KDE_FULL_SESSION is set and that they aren't when it's not set) if we find a good way to do it? That way, we would also test that the things that your recent commit changed work as they should. - Frank --- This is an automatically generated e-mail.

I thought that was what the GenericName entry was supposed to be good for, so gnome-terminal.desktop would have Name=GNOME Terminal GenericName=Terminal Exec=gnome-terminal and the runner/menu could use the GenericName unless there's a clash (cause konsole's GenericName is Terminal as well) where it could fall back to the Name enties for disambiguation. So my question regarding all this flood in my inbox would be: Does gnome-control-center now use "System Settings" for the GenericName or the Name entry of gnome-control-center so whether there's a real issue with disambiguation (as long as you want to avoid invoking the Exec string) or just "runner/menu xyz is too stupid to resolve ambiguities"?

How about these classes ? http://api.kde.org/4.5-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/classKArchive.html There have been many times that I have experience the need for archiving operations inside Qt framework, in various pure Qt projects. This has also been the feedback from more friends about their projects. Here you can find an example in this thread: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=130762214616848&w=2. It currently requires more things to port prior to getting it work. It uses KSaveFile for atomic file operation and some dependencies from kde_file.h and kde_file_win.h. The subclasses of KArchive also use the KFilterDev class internally and KMimeType. As we can see, mimetypes are on the way, at least it is in your list. ;-) I have been trying to experiment with them in our pure Qt codebase for a while, and there is some progress. It might be that, it is a bit late. Unfortunately, I have just only now found the time to answer. I am not sure about the legal part of kde codebase reuse, but let me know if there is anything i can do to help. Thank you in advance! :) Best Regards, Laszlo Papp

As far as I have seen the KDE version includes checks for * XSync * Xkbfile * SM For XSync I can find a #ifdef HAVE_XSYNC in kde-workspace/kwin/client.cpp No idea if it is really required, but at least it's used. Though I cannot find a check in either the toplevel or kwin's CMakeLists.txt. Xkbfile is used by the keyboard KCM and is checked in kde-workspace CMakeLists.txt if(NOT X11_Xkbfile_FOUND) macro_log_feature(X11_Xkbfile_FOUND "libXkbfile" "X11 keyboard layout library" "http://xorg.freedesktop.org"; TRUE "" "Needed for keyboard modules.") endif(NOT X11_Xkbfile_FOUND) SM sounds like it would be needed by ksmserver. But at least in the CMakeLists.txt I could not find a usage. Maybe an idea would be to git blame the file and contact the devs why they added the checks. In the other direction it seems like only Xi is in CMake version which is missing in KDE's. I think it would make sense to update the KDE's one.

It is so painfull in Qt when you want to use archives that there is nearly nothing for it.. KArchive would be a real nice addition to Qt but i'm guessing that means KTar, KZip and KAr to also get in along with some framework to add other formats.. I'm not expecting this to happen, but it would be awesome to have it in! :)
