Konsole window size and new window placement
Hello all, is there a way to have new Konsole windows always spawn in certain (default) size? I've been hunting around in various settings and window behavior dialogs, but I can't seem to find it. I even tried forcing a particular size in "Advanced/Special Window Settings..." window context menu, but it is not always honored - new Konsole often (sometimes not, so far it doesn't seem too deterministic to me) starts with size of last-resized existing Konsole window, even after such window is closed. Also, I would like to know if kwin can be set to place new windows in "tiled" fashion. There are few choices in kwin config including "cascading" and "smart", but neither seems to be what I want. I'm using KDE 4.4.5 from Squeeze on amd64 arch. Thanks in advance, -- Andrej Kacian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Lack of double- and triple-click support for selecting text
Hello all, for some time now, Konsole does not let me select word under cursor by doubleclicking, or entire line by triple clicking, even though it used to work before (before what I do not know, I simply noticed it stopped working one day, perhaps after some upgrade, or after some configuration changes - I just do not remember). Interestingly enough, If I create a new system user and log in to KDE with it, text selection works normally, so it is likely a result of some configuration change. Does someone have an idea what could I try to find out what it is (without throwing out my entire KDE configuration and starting fresh)?

Task manager thumbnail popup delay (after 4.7 upgrade)
Hello guys, since I upgraded my wheezy desktop to KDE 4.7, the popups with window thumbnail get displayed immediately when I move mouse pointer over task manager entries. With KDE 4.6, there was one or two second delay. This is quite distracting when I want to interact with some application widget near the taskbar and I "overshoot" the move accidentally, which results in the thumbnail popup to appear, and block the widget until I move the pointer away and wait a second or two for the popup to disappear. In task manager settings, I only found a checkbox whether or not to display popups, but no delay. Is there some other place I missed?

Seeking works, but the picture always freezes again after a frame or two. As soon as I stop MPD playback, the video starts playing normally, with sound. The other way around - when mplayer is playing a video, MPD errors out with "error opening audio device". This happens with MPD and any other audio source (I've tried mplayer, various music players, system notification sounds, pidgin notification sounds and few more). All the mentioned sources work together just fine, MPD is the only one that doesn't play with others. I've tried both "alsa" and "pulse" audio output in MPD, with same result.

KDE4 in Stretch?
Hello, while I'm glad that development continues on KDE5, and am looking forward to future usable environment, so far KDE5 has been a disappointment for me on several fronts, and in several waves, after each big 5.x upgrade. Every new major release brings in new bugs, new instabilities, new crashes, and doesn't seem to fix almost any of the previous ones. It is also slower than KDE4 was, even with significantly beefier hardware. Now, I do not have time to report all these bugs and work with the developers to fix them, even though that would be the correct thing to do. Therefore I'd like to know - is there a reasonable way to get KDE4 on Debian Stretch, or do I need to switch to Jessie for that? P.S. I'm not criticizing work of Debian KDE packaging team, I think you're doing a great job - it's just the software itself seems rather undercooked.

This is more about knowing if the package combination I am currently running is worth testing and reporting found bugs on, or whether I am in some temporary state where some packages I should have are still waiting in the queue, and any bug report I make would only waste time of the packagers, or whoever else will be reviewing it. If the KDE packaging layout was simpler, and all packages followed e.g. same naming policy or same versioning scheme, it wouldn't be an issue, as it would be easy to verify whether I still have some packages waiting for an upgrade.

After upgrading to Debian Bookworm, Meta key activates Application Launcher
Hello, after I upgraded my system to Bookworm with newer KDE/Plasma, my Meta (Windows) key started making the application launcher pop up. I had it disabled before, although I do not remember how anymore. Now I can't find a way to make it not do that again. In the settings for the application launcher, the activation shortcut is unset. Any hints, please? It's very annoying. Thanks in advance, -- Andrej

Wow, thanks for a quick and helpful reply! The solution surprises me, as this is the first time in over a decade of using KDE that I had to edit a KDE configuration file - so far, everything I needed had a nice GUI in systemsettings. I guess this makes KDE on par with Windows, which needs a registry edit in order to achieve the same thing. :) > > It's very annoying. > > I find it quite handy. :) I'm sure it is if it's part of your workflow, and it's great that KDE added the feature! :) Regards, -- Andrej pgpAV716iKXoK.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
