Perhaps we just need to optimize for some hardware or something, and it's not a showstopper (since composite can be disabled), but it will ruin a lot of first impressions of KWin 4 in it's current state. Speaking about kwin: Not necessarily for the beta-goals, but for the final release somebody should sit down and fix the xinerama issues in kwin as well. I'm rather astonished that xinerama is basically completely broken, because I was under the impression that the standard kwin code didn't change that much (i.e. the non-compositing stuff)... How do you propose we do that when few, if any, of the kwin developers use xinerama? This belongs to a kwin list really, but they should have at least a remote idea what they changed that completely broke xinerama - I'm not only talking about windows not being on the screen where I want them. I'm talking about menus always popping up on the first screen, no matter where the application window is and about KWin not even knowing there are more than 1 screens attached.

If that time savings from folks could be put to (better?) use working to fix bugs and make kde-4.0 better, then maybe it'll be well worth it. assuming that I have a state thats builds (which takes 2-3 days sometimes), the actual tarball upload etc only takes 1-2 hours. Can`t say anything about the release announcement though, that might take a lot more time. Dirk ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team

Audio questions
Hi, In the mail I received from Matthias Kretz, there were also some questions for us to answer. Quote: - For the 4.0 release I'd like to make libasound 1.0.14a a requirement (I just installed 1.0.15rc2 and it fixes another crash for me *sigh*). Is the requirement list already frozen? - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=284171 (short version: lazy symbol resolving in glibc is not threadsafe and can deadlock) This bug can cause spurious deadlocks. If at all possible I'd like to see us requiring this glibc version (the fix was posted on Tue, 18 Sep 2007 so perhaps there's a bit of dreaming involved on my side...) Anyone who can comment on this? - xine-lib behaves bad wrt. memory allocations. run e.g. mediaobjecttest in valgrind --tool=massif - run valgrind aplay -D default -f cd /dev/urandom and see for yourself. :'( Not sure what the question is, but can we bug anyone who can help Vir with this one?
