= Summary =

o Summary of problems in Fedora 9 Beta: 
- Due to the slip of the Beta release there are no known reports yet. 

o Artwork: KDM Theme and KSplash: 
- There will be no GDM theme for Fedora 9 which we can adopt because of some 
significant changes to gdm. 
- So if we want to use a Fedora themed KDM we need some help from artists. 
- Otherwise the upstream default theme (circles) will be the default for 
Fedora 9. 

o No administrator mode in systemsettings: 
- This issue was reported several times on the mailing lists. 
- It is known upstream but not fixed in KDE 4.0.2. 
- ThanNgo will check if it is fixed in svn trunk. 

o kickoff vs. simple menu?: 
- Kickoff is not very usable with low resolutions and also some users 
complained about it on the mailing lists. 
- The proposal here is to make the simple menu the default menu in Fedora 9 to 
simulate the old kicker style menu. 
- The KDE SIG is undecided in this question. 
- So we will bring the discussion to fedora-devel-list (or 
fedora-desktop-list) for wider audience. 

o #438547: nas: pkg split: 
- The "Network Sound Daemon" (nas) is always started by default in a default 
installation. 
- Parts from nasd (%{_libdir}/libaudio.so.?) are required for arts and 
qt4-x11/-doc/-devel. 
- It seems that no package in Fedora is using nasd. 
- The proposal is to split %{_libdir}/libaudio.so.* into a nas-libs sub 
package to fulfill the requirements for arts and qt4. 
- So nas (the package and the sound daemon nasd) itself will not be installed 
by default but still will be available in the repository. 
- Once qt-4.4 will be in rawhide, nas support should be dropped. 
- But the final decision is up to FrankBüttner, the maintainer of nas. 

o 36579: apidocs subpackage should be noarch: 
- The size of kdelibs-apidocs is quite huge (about 250 megs) and the package 
is available for each architecture. 
- Every single update will also create an arch-dependent update of the apidocs 
sub package. 
- The solutions for this could be: 
 * using the same hooks as the kernel-doc package 
 * maintaining two SRPMS, one arch specific and one noarch 
 * get rpm to create noarch sub packages 
- RexDieter will explore the implementation of building from a single source 
(like kernel-doc).
