Hi All,
While we don't officially support the KDE desktop, a few of our users
prefer it, and we offer them "best effort" support. Apparently, the KDE
Control Center presents them with a dearth of options - 7 panels are
available to them, as opposed to KDE's default of approximately 62
million. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? We've made a few minor
modifications to SL specific to our needs here, but to my knowledge,
nothing that would cause this behavior.
Apparently, /usr/bin/starkde calls /usr/bin/desktop-create-kmenu to
populate /var/lib/menu/kde/* with a number of symlinks to the .desktop
files in /usr/share/applications. desktop-create-kmenu kept throwing
errors on the vast majority of kde-specific .desktop files as a result
of the numerous 'Keywords' entries in each file. Lo and behold, after
removing the offending lines from each .desktop file, the appropriate
entries in the Control Center appeared.
I'm not a KDE user myself, so I don't have experience using KDE with SL
or with any other distros. A quick look at the KDE packages from Fedora
Core 3, for example, show the same offending 'Keywords' entries in the
various .desktop files, and I haven't been able to find any reports of
this behavior elsewhere...
Again, I'm curious if others have experienced the same behavior, or if
there is some modification we've made here that caused it, or if there
is a different solution that would have corrected the problem. Thanks!
-Sean
