Frederik,
Any thoughts on this? I know there was a reason we didn't install the
Engine header, but is there a way we can provide api to uninstall or install
items programatically?
thanks,
Jeremy

<br>
currently I'm trying to add KNewStuff3 support in yakuake.<br>
Unfortunately I've come to a point where I need some help.<br>
<br>
My first problem is that we want to validate the "entries" after \
installing<br> them.<br>
Since there's not entryInstalled() signal in KNS3::DownloadWidget we agreed \
to<br> validate all installed entries after the dialog/widget was closed.<br>
I implemented that, but it seems that it's not possible to uninstall an entry<br>
via code after it's been installed.<br>
The user would have to manually uninstall it via the UI.<br>
<br>
The main problem here is that the KNS3::Engine header is not installed [0].<br>
Having it installed would solve my problem.<br>
Do you think the header could be installed (plus having that fix backported to<br>
the 4.6 branch), since it does not break anything (but add something useful<br>
instead)?<br>
I'm not sure what would speak against it, as the KNS2::Engine header is<br>
already installed.<br>
<br>
My second problem is the provider configuration.<br>
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, since calling the opendesktop API \
directly<br> ([1]) only lists one entry.<br>
But when using knewstuff4 and the knsrc file (see [2]) it lists quite a few<br>
entries, which are in different categories.<br>
Is there something wrong with my knsrc file or is there some other configuration<br>
(maybe on the <a href="http://opendesktop.org" target="_blank">opendesktop.org</a> \
side?) required for the "Yakuake Skins" category<br> (this category is \
available on <a href="http://kde-look.org" target="_blank">kde-look.org</a>: \
[3]).<br> <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
Regards,<br>
Martin<br>
