KDE SC 4.4.2 Released w/ Fixes

[Tsiolkovsky]

I just upgraded my production Mandriva Linux computer following these instructions and I am loving it. One little thing I have noticed that is fixed in this release is that the frame around Luna/Moon widget is gone. Looks much nicer now with the space wallpaper I am using.

Well, it may be that Ubuntu was the only distro that was dumbed down enough to be popular among the Tom Dick and Harry crowd.

KDE is technically a stronger desktop IMO.

So let the KDE desktop continue marching on

I agree wholeheartedly.

I think you mean with KDE 4.4.2 I guess? 'cause for me this was still present with 4.4.1, but now it seems fixed with 4.4.2.

My only system suffering from that is my 64-bit virtual machine, which is still unfixed as of 4.4.2.

Neat. I wonder if it would be possible to have a real-time satellite image of your own house as the background.

Lol, use Konqueror, google your house with google maps, drag&drop it on your desktop widget, fullscreen it and it keeps your house satalite image up to date with the image.

However, it's not realy a static webpage, so I don't know if it'll work

@RealNC:
Ah... ofcourse >.<

Anyway, no I am using Fedora 12 on my desktop, currently
I always wanted to make my own Gentoo and LFS, but never actually did it...

Yeah that!

How do I put it there? :P

Like showed here (you probably want to install some plasma addon):

Btw. this video is a bit choppy, but it doesn't matter Marble as a desktop works great for me with os radeon driver.

[RealNC]

Yeah that!

Right-click on the desktop, select "Desktop Activity Settings", and then choose "Globe" in the "Type" drop-down list. Then you get this:

IIRC, you're using Gentoo? In that case, you need to have the "plasma" USE flag enabled for kde-base/marble in order to get that option in the desktop settings.

Like Marble running on your desktop instead of wallpaper? It's in 4.4.x

Yeah that!

There are now two things I realy want from it, which is a OpenGL wallpaper for Plasma, or was this already done with SC 4.4.x?

Ah so that was the problem. Well that was my last problem with KDE4...

There are now two things I realy want from it, which is a OpenGL wallpaper for Plasma, or was this already done with SC 4.4.x? And also Plasma sometimes still doesn't remember my widget location/size properly in some cases.

Other than that I love KDE4. SC 4.5 will probably be extremely epic
