Hello,
just managed to install and launch kde-2.2 from the precompiled binaries
on ftp.kde.org. The special thing in this environment is that I use it
on a dual monitor display.
There are several problems encountered, probably I've to go back to
kde-1.1.2 that used to run stable. So here we go:
1) How do I launch the panel from the command line, it often crashes and
I don't want to do the whole login/logout sequence. Same thing for the
displaying the icons on the desktop (don't know which kde-application
does this).
2) X-Resources get scrumbled. Emacs can use a defined xresource of the
background, xterm can't grab the same resource:
# xrdb -q | grep -i cursor
XTerm*cursorColor: red2
Emacs.cursorColor: red2
... does only display the cursorcolor of emacs in red2, xterm's
cursor is black Whereas the following config works:
# xrdb -q | grep -i cursor
XTerm*cursorColor: red1
Emacs.cursorColor: red2
Same to be said for background color (I haven't checked the whole
config yet). Is there something wrong with /usr/openwin/lib/X11/rgb.txt
when using KDE?
This thing used to work with kde-1.1.2 and kde-2.0.1.
3) Setting the language to german and C in the control center still
brings up all messages in english.
4) Most of the panel settings can be configured differently on each
screen (in the dual monitor sense), but I can not have a clock be
embedded in the panel with analog type on the left and digital on the
right, what is what I want to use for the better date display of the
digital one.
Propably more to come soon... for the rest: Good work! KDE looks quite
well in this environment.
Thanks in advance -- Peter
