<p>Hello KDE list</p>
<p></p>
<p>Wellll....I'm trying. I want to be a believer in KDE4, so I downloaded 11.1 with KDE4.1 to try it out as a test bed. ( I tried previously with 11.0 and KDE4.0 and I hated it. So I just didn't touch it until 4.1 came along) I must say it is an improvement and can do many more things than in 4.0. Hopefully it will continue to improve.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now....I have a few questions here after spending hours playing with it. Hopefully some of the newly endowed KDE4 gurus can set me straight.</p>
<p></p>
<p>1 How does one get an application on the task bar? eg: Kmail. Konsole, Gimp, Kwrite, etc.?</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. How does one get different wallpaper on the other desktops? (This was one of my must have's in KDE3. Always knew where I was)</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. How does one change the icons for different functions? (Presently both the screensaver and log out functions are using the Dolphin icon)</p>
<p></p>
<p>4. How does one invoke system sound for certain events, like changing to a different desktop or the closing of an app?</p>
<p></p>
<p>The following are probably not KDE4 centric but I thought I would mention them in case someone has an idea/thought/solution:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. I can only print in black & white. Don't know why. Used to be able to specify those options in the printer dialogue and they no longer appear.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2.Yast has tiny tiny fonts. (I am visually impaired) I was able to increase font size in KDE and GTK to my satisfaction, but there is nothing for QT.</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. Repos in Yast. I have the very basic ones. Used to be able to download a list and choose the ones you wanted. No can do anymore. Need to find them and enter them manually?</p>
<p></p>
<p>4. And this last is probably a bug but would like someone else to verify it. Under Accessibility > Fonts > Sticky keys. If that is enabled it is impossible to type anything into an app on the screen. Just doesn't appear. eg: Konsole, Kwrite, any app which requires text input.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, I really don't expect any kind of replies for several days. After all it is Christmas!!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night !</p>
