Dear guys,
After a long time, I try to use again screenkast + libinstrudeo.
Ages before I did use it but nowadays (about in the last 6 months or
more) I cannot compile libinstrudeo because there are some compiling

These packages are in the sunrise overlay.
So, I guess there is a proble

I'm currently googling around for some insight into an extremely
annoying feature (or a bug?) which appeared with KDE 4.2, and/or the
xorg-server upgrade to 1.5.3-r2 that I did along with the kde upgrade.
The problem reveals itself when I press ctrl+c in some KDE
applications and that it tu
