I've used kde4 on freebsd7/8 for about a year now, and have never gotten around to tracking down some little things that bug me. I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction on these things.
(1) I can only start one instance of konsole. If I start a second instance from either a shortcut or the menu, it flashes on the screen and goes away. It doesn't matter if I've closed the first instance or not. (2) How do I get icons for applications I install to show up in the menu? I've been manually searching for the icons, and then using Menu Editor to add the icon file to the program. (3) I build from source - the way I've been building GUI programs is to build the source from the ports tree, and then use Menu Editor to manually point to the application (like in /usr/local/bin). Is this the right way to add new gui apps? (4) I can't get sound to work for the life of me. I had it up for a few days, and then nothing - seems like kde has a few different sound subsystems that conflict with each other. (5) Is there a way to get java apps to automatically launch after a reboot, like other compiled apps do? (6) My USB mouse and keyboard periodically crap out, and I have to plug in PS/2 devices. Rebooting usually solves the problem. It's sporadic and seems like it might be related to the sound problems (both use hald?). They work fine if I reboot to single-user mode, it seems like a kde problem. (7) how do I get a fancy desktop theme, like 3-d wallpaper? I see some stuff that's installable, but can't figure it out (I use the "Appearance Settings" option to set wallpaper to a static image file at present). thank you. _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
