Who is it who has introduced the bug into KDE 3.0.x, Mandrakesoft or the KDE developers? I refer to konsole-noxft. Get rid of it. It APPEARS to be a Mandrake mistake since it falls in the applnk-mdk directory. GET RID OF IT. Konsole is NOT broken vis a vis antialiasing. It doesn't NEED noxft. All this does is break it. It is a BUG to have it in the distro and you CANNOT get rid of it or fix it.
I have even edited the root /opt/kde3/share/applink-mdk/konsole.desktop (and konsolesu.desktop) files as root and eliminated the BROKEN konsole-noxft crap and it nevertheless insists on recreating itself with every reboot. GET RID OF IT. It does NOT make the distro appear useful to business people who may consider linux for the desktop system in their company if bugs like this NEVER GET FIXED! This bug is long overdue for repair. It has always been broken and remains so. Please, for the love of God, Shiva, Buddha, Yog-Sothoth, or whomever, fix it already! It doesn't belong in Mandrake. Whoever insists on making konsole-noxft exist on Mandrake is sabotaging it, period. I would never recommend a desktop to someone when its most simple bugs are never reparied inspite of its existence being known since the Cambrian Explosion. This is not a new bug, it has always existed in Mandrake since it first had mandrake rpms for kde3. If you insist on leaving your distro broken, then provide the information necessary for your users to correct your mistake and tell us where the Mandrake system is getting the information to recreate this damnable konsole.desktop file no matter what root does to it. It must be reinitializing if from some template somewhere. Beside it being broken, Mandrake itself is broken if the system insists on overriding the changes introduced by ROOT to the system. C'mon, root is GOD and gets to make whatever changes he/she wants and the expectation is that what root changes remains changed (and fixed in this case). If this is due to the lax standards of certain KDE developers who don't give a damn about bugs they create and only care about adding bloat and increasing the time it takes for KDE to start up, then I apologize and will direct my ire their way...but since it is a problem appearing in share/applink-mdk, that has Mandrake written all over it. praedor
