Package: kdelibs4c2a_3.5.5a Version: 3.5.5a.dfsg.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Note: This problem is identical to KDE bug #125559 A hardcoded hack in kdecore causes the "up arrrow" on keyboards accessed through the "evdev" driver (needed for e.g. multiseat systems) to be confused with the "PrintScreen" key and as a result launches KSnapwhot. This makes KDE almost useless on multiseat systems (while e.g. Gnome works fine). Bug #125559 contains a patch by Benjamin K. Stuhl for this problem. I have validated his patch on my Debian unstable system by building a new kdelibs4c2a_3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5_i386.deb from the current source-deb with the patch. It fixed my problem perfectly. Unless this fix is expected to propagate to sid automatically, I suggest that you actively include it. A related note for Debian KDE users interested in multiseat systems: After changing the keyboard driver to "evdev" in xorg.conf (Driver "evdev"), dont forget to also change the keyboard model in the locale settings of the KDE Kontrolcenter to "Evdev-managed keyboard" too. Otherwise the arrow keys and the key cluster with "Insert", "Home", "Page up" etc. are useless. It took me some time to identify the cause.
