KDE4 Issues

  • No admin button in system settings
  • 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)
  • 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 loses sound randomly after running Kaffeine (KDE3 version) or Amarok (KDE4 Nightly)
  • 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!
  • There is no way to hide systray icons
  • There is no 'show desktop' icon on the kicker. Can I add one? Where?

Wishlist
