KDE4 Issues

• No admin button in system settings
  • They know about this Schedules/KDE4/4.2_Release_Schedule
  • do sudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/systemsettings
• GTK-QT not working, Firefox looks awful
  • installed gtk-qt-engine-kde4 and it appears in system settings, but has no effect on firefox, thunderbird, gimp, etc.
  • Other have this problem no solutions
  • Found that settings must be applied as root in system settings (see above), pidgin and gimp look right, but Firefox and Thunderbird are still in 1995 grey sqaure
• Firefox cannot properly set helper applications (ktorrent, okular, etc)
• Cannot set khotkeys for media keys on logitech keyboard
  • khotkeys is "in a bit of a broken state" no known workarounds
• Dolphin has no "Open Terminal here" option an icon can be added to the toolbar
• Amarok crashes every time I run it (need to compile amarok 2.0)
  • Nightly Builds work pretty well. Project Neon
• Startup sound starts playing fine, and then gets cutoff
  • Phonon sometimes gives weird sound failing message
• Surround sound does not work at all. Conflicting instructions on how to set this up, but no settings in KDE4 anywhere that I can see
• Kaffeine and Flash appear to be stealing Xine from each other
  • (Kaffeine is working on a KDE4 release coming soon. Dragon player doesn't work/has no settings)
• Flash randomly stops working in Firefox. It will start out fine, and then after a bit will only show grey boxes where flash should be. 64bit thing? Why would it do this? It seems this is a problem only with the official ubuntu firefox package. The mozilla package works fine
• Dolphin has no right-click extract options ark can't handle this?
• KDE tries to start applications I had running on logout every time I logout. I do not want it to do this!
• The latest Kopete no longer works with google talk Others have this problem Pidgin works fine
• Konversation opens links in some strange Gnome "Web Browser", even though I have specified an absolute path to Firefox in System Settings>Default Applications
• Numlock unsets every restart!

Wishlist

• Hide cursor when zoomed in
• Ability to close windows when running the Expose-like "Present Windows"
