I recently set up, for a learning exercise, an Ubuntu desktop PC with KDE 4.2, installed Eclipse and started to look for information on how to develop for KDE. I know there's KDevelop and will probably have a look at that at some time in the future. Right now, however, I don't have the correct headers and libraries for creating KDE appli...
I'm just trying to get into QT (and KDE) program, and have hit a snag trying to add a floatable, draggable QDockWidget to the .ui file (based as a QWidget) that is embedded into my KDE 4 program. This is all from the basic template provided by KDevelop 4, so while I understand what's going on, I just don't know the best way to change it...
I've heard excellent reports of xmonad, but how good is it for everyday use and for development? For various reasons I don't use vim/emacs (though I don't suffer from terminal-phobia!). All the screenshots/videos I've seen show xmonad being used with mainly terminal apps. Is it worth switching from KDE 4.2? ...
Is there any way to create a service menu on Gnome? In kde it's simply a .desktop file placed in $HOME/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ Does it exist a similar thing in Gnome? ...
I recently installed KDE4.2 on my Fedora 9 machine, which already had Gnome, and have been trying to run Eclipse 3.3 (Europa, which ships with a Fedora Distro), but without luck.

I'm using only Qt (though PyQt) and I don't get icons when I call e.g. QMessageBox.warning(). Is there a way to use the platform's default icons? Currently I'm using the more complete QMessageBox constructor and calling setIconPixmap. ...
I have multiple "desktops" that I switch between for different tasks in my KDE Linux environment. How can I automagically determine which desktop my Konsole ( kde console) window is being displayed in? EDIT: I'm using KDE 3.4 in a corporate environment This is programming related. I need to programatically (a.k.a. automagically ) de...
Qt/KDE's Phonon media framework abstraction implemented playback first. Can it do anything more complicated yet? ...
I'm asking this question after I got a very good answer to: How do I detect the 2 states of “Switch User” in Windows My intention is to find out if the Switch User under KDE/Gnome has a similar API call I can monitor with FreePascal. If not with FreePascal, at least the respective lib entry used in C/C++ ...

Hey, I'd like to get a shell script to run everytime I unlock my computer, on KDE 4. I learned that I could run one by overwriting /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/krunner_lock with a shell script doing its thing, then the original krunner_lock binary, and I'd basically want to do the opposite: launch a script that "undoes" what the locking script ...
In a kde3 game called ksirtet (a tetris clone) when playing against a computer the human player cannot move the tetris piece left/right. I'm trying to fix it but cannot debug in gdb. After the line "kapp->exec()" gdb stops responding, the game runs and I cannot input any command do gdb to see what's going on. So the question is about deb...

In my hotkey handler I use self.Show() self.Raise() self.Iconize(False) and in my activate message handler self.Hide() self.Iconize(True) but the window pops up on top of the...
I am looking for a way to programatically get/set the icon positions on the desktop. Clearly there is some "state" stored in a somewhere. Does anybody know here? I am trying to get a proof of concept going on ANY platform so if you know how to do it on XP in gnome, KDE or Mac OS I would really like to hear about it. ...
Hi, What is the smallest, friendliest Window Manager that I can run on Linux. I currently use Gnome which is a bit heavy. All I would be needing it for is to run Firefox. Xfce? ...
I'm making a automatic configuration script for kde and I want to replace the current keybindings with a key binding file of my own. I found that there is a list of keybinding files in /usr/share/apps/kcmkeys directory all stored in .kksrc files, and I can define custom .kksrc files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kcmkeys directory. However, I do...
I working on a simple paint program. It seemed Qt (and KDE) would be a easy way to implement it. I find Qt quite easy to work with, but now I have hit a problem. When I draw something in my program the mouse skips if I move the mouse to fast. like this: It susposed to be like one long string. I'm using mouseMoveEvent() to draw a pixe...
This question is specific to KDE4 if you are using a different Desktop/OS then please open another thread. -- Hi there, for a day now I have been using a 24" 1920x1200px monitor. And it's awful! Maximizing windows (horizontally) is pointless. So I've begun editing window profiles (upper-left corner -> klick -> configure window behavior...
