Yes, I would like to see #1 fixed as well. FYI:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11823
Did voice notifications with ttsd are planned ?
I mean : in Mac OS style, when a message box pops up...
Has anyone seen this great app?
Why can't it be included in the standard KDe release?
just checked it out. It's pretty cool, I think the main reason it's not included is because distros often give the suer an app like this, it would be cool if it was in utilities.
Not everybody uses *shudder* RPM distro's..
Not everyone uses packages at all. Im ok with RPM Wizard in KDE.. under the following conditions:
1: The name is changed to Install Wizard (or whatever).
2: It gets support for the Debian way of doing things.
3: It gets support for any other major system that im just not aware of. :P
4: It gets support for the one and only .tar.[gz/bz2].
/kidcat
Idea is great. BUT:
I'm using SuSE 8.2. Quite an un-geeky distro.
Now the RPM Wizard page says:
Install python, rpm-python, and so on.
rpm-python is not available for SuSE, you have to
compile it for yourself.
Now, is this a joke or what? An installation utility which
is so difficult to install that you have learned so much about
Linux installations that you don't need it anymore once it's
installed? An interesting way to develop a software solution
I supposed. What comes next? A calculator which requires
you to enter all numbers by entering their square roots?
You can do it all by head once you've figured out how to use
that.
Im running the latest CVS debian debs. Konqueror seems to slow
the whole system down to a crawl when downloading largish images.
I will post a bug report if other people are seeing the same effect.

Mozilla had no problem with the same image.

Same problem for me :(
me too.
the version is 3.1.90(CVS >= 20030827) on the control center
I'm experiencing the same problem. :-(
I'm using the latest downloads form SuSE - early September version(4th - 92 at the end of the version?), it took about 10-15 seconds on broadband to download the picture - seemed reasonable to me
Same problem.. I made a 6000x6000 jpeg with GIMP that was filled completely black with a few lines drawn in the middle (~750k).
gqview took 3 seconds to load it - using /tmp/test.jpg
xv took 4 seconds to load it - using /tmp/test.jpg
kuickshow took 7 seconds to load it - using /tmp/test.jpg
konq-HEAD took 24 seconds to load it - using /tmp/test.jpg
konq-HEAD took 49 seconds to load it - using http://localhost/test.jpg
MozillaFirebird took 4 seconds to load it - using /tmp/test.jpg
MozillaFirebird took 5 seconds to load it - using http://localhost/test.jpg
opera 6.12 took 3 seconds to load it - using /tmp/test.jpg
opera 6.12 took 3 seconds to load it - using http://localhost/test.jpg
KOnqueror's constipated on mine too.

Please do so. I have seen this problem many times with kde 3.1.
Please vote for bug 39693 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39693)
All of the large image hangs/crashes/takes a long time in konq have been duplicates of this bug.
I voted for this bug. However, I would also like to ask people to vote for bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52026. This has been bugging me for ages now, but somehow no-one else seems to notice it (and I'm sure it happens on different systems).
I compiled a version of kdelibs and kdebase today, and the picture loads within 2 seconds here.
I think Konqueror has always had this problem. Please, file a bug!
ARGH !!
yes, same problem with KDE 3.1.3
actually i thought, my PC was freezing !
;)
Who invented this awfull programm name?
Sounds like a vacuum cleaner to me ..

sorry,
ever been in a situation where you really want to start development and don't want to take to much time on thinking about a name?
ok here the explenation:
it needs a k.
k...
it is/was planed a smaller form of ms access we have the suffix 'i' therefor
k...i
access is like a toungh braker
k.xi
and a keks is a cookie in german (at least austrian)
kexi
lucijan
>and a keks is a cookie in german (at least austrian)
Really? Because keksi is a cookie in finnish, and if you would write it with an x (kexi) ,and you could if you were a teenager :), it would still be pronounsed same way as keksi.
Don't know if it's just a legend, but if I recall it correctly the "Keks" (cookie) was introduced to the german language after a well known maker of sweets
(Bahlsen, http://www.bahlsen.com/root_bahlsen_anim_en/root.html)
changed the (once english) name of one of it's more popular products from "cakes" to "keks", because the germans (in the late 19th century) pronounced the original name awfully wrong. A german tongue would pronounce "keks" much like an english would pronouce "cakes" (well, nearly...)
This way, the term "keks" found it's way to the german language and maybe to others as well...
Well, "keks" is a word meaning cake (or specifically baked cake) is the same in almost all languages, most of the slavic languages have the word "keks" (tho spelled in cyrilic mostly).
