OT: How to start an application on another desktop?

2002-05-17 Thread Cajus Pollmeier
Hi List!

With KDE1, I was able to specify a target desktop when starting an application 
using --startondesktop.
Does anyone know if something like this is possible with KDE2/3, too?

Thanks,
-Cajus

kstart --desktop   

Try: kstart --help for the other options ;)

You can use "kstart --desktop 2 app_name"
kstart --help for details
If you have trouble with some non-kde apps, try using xwininfo to get the 
window ID/title, then specify it with the -window option.
ie.
kstart  --window "XMMS" --desktop 2 xmms

all the best,

Xinerama not recognized by KDE

2002-05-17 Thread Marcel Kossin
Hi,

I'm using woody with KDE 2.2.2. I have configured XFree86 Version
4.1.0.1 to work with two Graphiccards in "Xinerama-Mode". After
installing the latest kdelibs3 with apt-get I tried to use it with KDE 
but unfortunately it didn't Work. 
After starting kdm I have the login Window on one Monitor and the other
Monitor only shows a naked X. After logging in KDE is started on the one
screen. On the other screen appears a second KDE window. I can use the
mice and the keyboard on both Monitors but each Monitor seems to show a
single Session. It is not possible to Move Windows from one Monitor to
the other. I can configure each Monitor (kicker, background, wallpaper,
etc.) But I am logged in as the same user. I didn't see or use Xinerama
on KDE before but I think that's not the right behaviour?!

The other problem is that I can't use the Option "activate Xinerama" in
"Window Behaviour". That means I can see the Options, but I can't use
them.

Are there some other Options that have to be activated?

Are there some Hardwarelimitations? the second Graphiccard is running
with a "vesa" Driver 'cause I didn't find a s3-Driver in XFree86
4.1.0.1.

Thanks for all Answers and/or Hints where I can find the Answer.

Marcel

Sorry, didn't know the "Option "Xinerama" "on"" :(
Now it works :)

You will probably find that this is due to the QT 2 libraries are not compiled 
with Xinerama support. This probably will not be changed in woody. As for 
sid, QT3 (and KDE3) is currently compiled with Xinerama on i386. When KDE3 
enters sid, the optio should work. You may be able to get Ivan to enable 
Xinerama in Qt 2 for sid, but it may not be worth the hassle when KDE is just 
around the corner.

Menu items

2002-05-17 Thread Daniel D Jones

OK, this seems like a simple question but I can't find it addressed
anywhere in the documentation.

Is there any way to add a ment item to the KMenu besides using the
cumbersome KMenuEditor?  I can drag a file from the file manager to
kicker but I can't figure out any way to drag it to the menu.

I am very close to being done with packaging KDE 3.0.1. However from
what I have read from complaints on debian-devel it may be up to a
month before it gets installed due to the fact the packages will be
marked NEW. I will see if I can convince a ftp admin to install them
sooner though.

You can create your own .desktop files with your favorite text editor
(KMenuEditor does this thru its GUI), just look at some existing entries
as an example. Also, most Debian packages create their own menu item,
thought it may be hard to find it at first. They are always located in
the "Debian" submenus.
