Re: [SLUG] Dual monitor emulation on a single monitor]
In my view wide-screen is weasel-speak for squat-screen (especially for notebooks). But that's because I mainly do mapping where square (or better still round) is the ultimate. Kevin.

At work, I have two 19in 1280x1024 monitors, which work seamlessly side-by-side with TwinView in the nvidia driver. I'd love to be able to combine the benefits of the two setups. I'd like, for example, to be able to hit Maximise and have the window fill up only half the screen. Today's screens are so wide that maximising a window often just creates lots of unused space. I'd still like the option to use the whole screen for one window, though. Edge resistance in the middle of the display would be very nice too.

Re: [SLUG] Konqueror spits out 'malformed UR'L when accessing /home
Patrick, Not being a KDE or Konqueror user, I don't experience this (and Chromium, Firefox and Nautilus don't seem to have problems with the file protocol) But there seem to be a number of open bug reports that are related to your issue:- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192632 - Protocol not supported file https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202288 - Konqueror has crashed browsing filesystem, It might be worth submitting a new report if you can't find your a problem close to yours. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192632 Regards, Martin martinvisse...@gmail.com On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 1:53 PM, elliott-brennan elliottbren...@gmail.comwrote: Erk!

RE: [SLUG] Konqueror spits out 'malformed UR'L when accessing /home
Hi Elliot, So to confirm you want Konqueror to show your home directory on start ? Settings - Configure Konqueror - When Konqueror Starts : Show My Home Page Set your home page to ~ Tested as working on Kubuntu 9.x Konqueror version 4.2.2, no errors on start. Let me know if it helps :) There are perhaps some nicer and more convient ways to do what you want too, if you give us some background info.
