pardus plasma problems (PPP :P)

[Sebastian Kügler]

Hi Plasmoids,

I'm at the office of Pardus Linux right now, and we're going through some 
issues for the next Pardus release this summer, which is based on KDE 4.2. 
Some of the issues have already been addressed, others are new. Some advice on 
where to look and how to address them:

Note, this is not a "plz fix this kthx", but a "how to address this in the 
best way". Here goes:

- In 4.2, there's no way to set the wallpaper from outside Plasma. That's of 
course more involved, since the wallpaper plugin also needs to be switched to 
the image plugin. For 4.4, there's a dbus interface planned for this, but how 
can one add this functionality before that?

- The Plasma panel, in some cases doesn't switch the theme's artwork to the 
translucent version. I recall there was a fix for that recently, the 
compositingEnabled signal wasn't always emitted, iirc. Probably something we 
(or the Pardus guys) want to backport. I'm not sure which patch that was, 
maybe r916823. Does anyone know this?

- When symlinking /usr/ (for example to /oldusr/), the wallpapers in the 
preview drop dropdown show up twice. Any idea what's going on here?


Pardus developers are on this list, and will join into this discussion...

Thanks for the advice!
