I installed both gnome and KDE so I could test either of them in my f16 partition. I was trying out installing my HP printer (by turning it on for the first time in f16), and it appeared OK, but when I went to fiddle some properties with system-config-printer, I very shortly got a popup with the title "kded - KDialog" saying something about ~/.kde/share/config/kdedrc not being writable. I click OK on that, and get another with a similar complaint about KPackageKitSmartIconrc Then I tried to build my "kewpie" DVD print program: http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/software/kewpie/kewpie.html which has always been a plain old Qt application. Now however, if I try to run in in a gnome 3 session, it comes up, but the print dialog is utterly non-responsive (even the Cancel button doesn't work). So I try logging out of the gnome 3 session and logging in to a KDE session (for the first time, I might add, which probably explains the ~/.kde not writable messages). Now, I can run the printer dialog - the controls actually respond, but in f15 and before, my Qt programs worked fine without being run in a KDE session. When I go to save my config file, I also find that someone has caused Qt to use the KDE file dialog instead of the native Qt dialog. Anyone know if there is some qtconfig magic or something I can use to tell Qt to just use the native Qt dialogs and not rely on some random collection of KDE daemons which are apparently not running in a gnome session? All this trouble, only to find that the hplip in f16 still can't print to the DVD tray correctly. I guess I'll have to keep my old fedora 13 partition around to boot into when I want to print a DVD :-(. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
