Issue 151

22nd February 2009 by Danny Allen

This Week...

Experimentation with recording presentations in Okular. Mobipocket format support added to Okular, Strigi, and the thumbnailer. Ability to configure gestures in the "Hotkeys" KControl module. Start of a metadata editor and other general work in Plasmate. Support for multiple collections, and HTML emails in the LionMail Plasma widget. A "maintenance" tab, with reorganised status displays and operations added to the folder properties dialog in KMail. Initial check-in of Qt QObject - GTK GObject bridge. Support for C# events added to the C# bindings. A simple plugin using WebKit for Kommander 4. Rudimentary printing support implemented in Kompare. Charts tables added to Postgres backend in Kamala. More development work in KMJ and the rewrite of Kolf. Zooming, and seeking during video playback now working in KPhotoAlbum. Support for changing brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation in LinTV. More work on effects in KWin-Composite. Support for letting the user change KDE mimetype icons. Save report support in the DrKonqi dialog. Improved tab behaviour, and a prototype "Konsole" KPart-based plugin (to provide SSH/Telnet support) in KRDC. SnaKe is renamed KSnake. Initial import of Kopier and Tellico to KDE SVN.
Boudewijn Rempt provides an update covering recent developments in Krita:
Danny asked me to write a little bit about what has been happening in and around KOffice. Apart from releasing a new beta every month, that is. Well, there's good news, and there's news that will try your patience a bit.

The good news is that last week has seen an amazing amount of work on loading and saving. Thorsten Zachmann has moved a mountain to finally make loading and saving shapes work in KWord. He also gave me the golden tip that finished loading and saving of nearly all shapes in Krita, and then Sven Langkamp finished up with a fix for the last remaining shape that didn't load in Krita, the Chart shape. That done, Tomas Mecir started working on KSpread's shape loading and saving, with lots of results.

The patience-trying bit is a direct consquence of this work: we decided to postpone the next beta release for a week, so we could have a Beta 7 with all the saving-and-loading goodness. And, hopefully, this will be the last beta. Next month, we're going to look at our list of release-blocking issues, and decide whether to call that month's release a Release Candidate, or Beta 8.

We're also happy to welcome a new hacker to KOffice: Dmitry Kazakov. He is working on the color curves filter in Krita, and on the curve widget itself. This widget was originally cloned from Digikam, but got morphed to fit better with Krita. Dmitry has already submitted about 70kb of patches.

And that brings me to the final bit of news I wanted to share with you all: KOffice has started using reviewboard.kde.org. Apart from some glitches with the web application, some that make it not work with KHTML from KDE 3.5 (though it works perfectly well with KHTML from KDE 4.2), and the problem that the diffs are too wide for my 1024x768 screen, we all love the application and we had half a dozen review requests dealt within 24 hours of opening the group. It's a truly wonderful tool!

So, there you have it: we're busy like nobody's business and making good progress towards that elysium of a 2.0 release that will finally be our fixed point from which we confidently expect to be able to move the earth.
Adenilson Cavalcanti Da Silva writes an update on the Google Contacts Akonadi Resource:
The Google contacts part of this resource is working, and the following features are supported:
  • get/add/edit/delete;
  • dialog for user account;
  • store user password in KWallet;
  • fields: name, email, telephone, job title, organization, address, notes, photo.
I have tested it and seems pretty stable, but I think it would be nice to have some testers to help to uncover and fix any lurking bugs on it.

You can grab it in playground (http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/pim/googledata/) and will need libgcal (git://repo.or.cz/libgcal.git) installed to compile it.

There are some features missing:
  • calendar
  • more contact fields (i.e. multiple addresses, telephones, etc)
  • and some other TODOS in the source code

Any comments, please feel free to contact me (cavalcantii-at-gmail-dot-com) or on IRC (Savago).
This will be the last Digest for at least a few weeks: I have a lot of important work to do that needs focus and priority.

Bug Fixes

Development Tools

Otto Bruggeman committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/kompare:

Actually give a QWidget* wehn asked for one and not cast a QObject* to a QWidget*, that does not work...
Most likely fixed as well due to removing the "delete this" which is pure evil
A missing KGlobal::deref() seems to have caused kompare to stay around without visible windows.
Same for this one, due to the missing deref kompare never fully quit and the session was saved and restored on next login.

Many many cleanups and many dialog created on the heap are not created on the stack whereever possible.
Updated most headers with the updated copyright year and a new email address.

Next time i'll try to split it up in seperate commits.

Educational

Torsten Rahn committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdeedu/marble/src/lib:

- Fix for junior job by bholst:

Category MEDIUM:: Currently Marble only tries to fetch tiles once.
If the server doesn't reply Marble won't retry until Marble gets restarted.
Find a solution that will reschedule the tile up to 3x in case of failure.
Between the attempts Marble should wait 1 min. before the job gets rescheduled.
Relevant classes for this job are marble/src/lib/HttpDownloadManager.{cpp;h} and marble/src/lib/HttpFetchFile.{cpp;h}

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 929621

KDE Base

Maks Orlovich committed changes in /branches/KDE/4.2/kdelibs/khtml/html/html_formimpl.cpp:

Remove some paranoia about file widgets being hidden:
1. Legitimate websites like to do it
2. The user can see everything being submitted in the file list
3. There were ways around it anyway.

Fixes the rapidshare.com uploader, and perhaps others.

KDE-PIM

Bertjan Broeksema committed changes in /branches/KDE/4.2/kdepim/kpilot/conduits/calendar/calendarconduit.cc:

This fixes a crash when an event on the pc ends at midnight. In this case a record on the handheld is created which also ends at 00:00 but on the same date as it starts in stead of the next day.

I don't close the bug yet because the behavior of pc events running from day 1 10:00pm to day 2 9:00 am is not fixed by this commit. (Although I wonder if we will be able to actually fix this.)

Multimedia

Mark Kretschmann committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src:

Beginnings of SmartPointerList class:
A QList for storing pointers to QObjects, that automatically removes the pointers when objects are deleted.

The evil scheme behind this idea is to fix many of our crashes that result from storing (caching) QLists of pointers to QActions in various places in Amarok. The problem is that sometimes these QActions get deleted, and we end up with dangling pointers in these lists. That's causing crashes like in BR 184630, when we dereference these dangling pointers.

Now my class does have a few drawbacks still, which may be fixable with more tweaking, or maybe not:

* Does not work with Qt's foreach(), as it subclasses QObject. You need to iterate over the list in traditional ways.
* Casting of pointers is sometimes needed

For testing, I did start to port some of our QList<QAction*> to SmartPointerList, but not all of them.

You be the judge if this class is a good idea and a viable path.
I'm requesting code review and discussion.

Features

Development Tools

Richard Dale committed changes in /trunk/playground/bindings/smoke_gobject:

* Initial check-in of Qt QObject <--> GTK GObject bridge

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Revision 926615
Hamish Rodda committed changes in /trunk/playground/devtools/kdevelop4-extra-plugins/java:

Change imports to use unzipped version of java source.
KDevelop now happily parses many java headers, in a very short amount of time (java.util.* and java.net.* ~10s on my pc).

Still need to change the configuration module to reflect that the java source must be unzipped (for now).

Also fix a crash when parsing java files where methods have no body, and reduce verbosity ++

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 926736
Arno Rehn committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebindings/csharp/qyoto:

* Add support for C# events.
They're called Signal<signalName> and if they're overloaded, additionally have their arguments attached to their name.

This should be considered highly experimental and can change at any time.

Andras Mantia committed changes in /trunk/playground/devtools/kommander-plugins/webkit:

Simple plugin using webkit for Kommander 4

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 9 more) Revision 928034
Nick Shaforostoff committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/lokalize/src:

-implement framework for having project-specific scripts. lokalize requires kdelibs trunk from now on
-make restoring from autosave more natural: changed entries are now actually shown as such.
-add tag insertion on via mouse click
-fix few mistakes in xliff editing
-add icons for config pages, country flags
-move some project options to advanced page
-introduce 'kinds' of projects
-add Editor scripting object
-support xliff2odf w/o need of saving the files first.
-also xliff2odf now expects <file origin=""> to be filled -- but this requires the translate-toolkit patch be applied: <a href="http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851">http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851</a>;
-continue writing new project wizard (in python).

Ralf Habacker committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/umbrello/umbrello/main.cpp:

added option "export-formats", which prints out a list of all supported export formats to stderr
The list gives the answer for bug 180031 - pdf isn't a supported export format

Aleix Pol Gonzalez committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdevplatform/language/duchain/navigation:

Integrate documentation system on the duchain navigation tooltip.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3 Revision 929171
Bertjan Broeksema committed changes in /trunk/quality/krazy2/cppchecks:

I want some small gui which can show me the different trees which are the result of parsing a file (e.g. include tree, ast, scope tree). This is the first work for that.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Revision 929532
Otto Bruggeman committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/kompare/komparepart:

Rudimentary printing support implemented, currently the only thing printed is what is visible in kompare.

No support yet for multiple pages and for printing info that is off-screen.

Since I can't predict how good things look off-screen (as in how far the connecting hunks (multiple pages apart even if there was a huge insert in between) this seems illogical to implement anyway.

Graphics

Jesper Pedersen committed changes in /trunk/extragear/graphics/kphotoalbum/Viewer:

seeking during video playback is now working.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3 Revision 929551
Jesper Pedersen committed changes in /trunk/extragear/graphics/kphotoalbum:

zooming in the video viewer is now working.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 929598
Pino Toscano committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/okular/ui:

introduce a SearchLineWidget, which is a SearchLineEdit + AnimatedWidget
this small widget is useful for providing a search line edit with an animated widget next to it, with the latter shown while the search is in progress currently, the animation is slightly delayed, so we avoid very quick results (ie the next occurrence is on the same page) to show the animation for a very short time

Petri Damstén committed changes in /trunk/playground/graphics/kopier/src:

Add settings page

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Revision 927730
Jakub Stachowski committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegraphics:

Mobipocket support for okular, thumbnails and strigi

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 11 more) Revision 928589

KDE Base

Lucas Murray committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin/effects:

Added new effect: Snap Helper.
This effect is useful for those perfectionist people that want to move a window to the exact center of the screen but can never get close enough to it for the automatic snapping to trigger.

OpenGL-only for now, gave up on XRender, if anyone can get it to work go for it.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Revision 926393
Eugene Trounev committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/bubblemon/images/bubble.svg:

Promised theme for bubblemon.
For some reason bubbles won't show on my build :(

Let me know how you like it

Shaun Reich committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/dolphin/src:

Added the Trash KCM to Dolphin, it's visible in the Settings Dialog, in the 'Trash" page.
Konqueror has it, we should too =)

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Revision 926571
Matthew Adams committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/welcome/cpp/source:

Add working but unfinished floating panel containment and applet

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Revision 926799
Lucas Murray committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin:

Improved window movement around struts.
Windows can be moved anywhere where the titlebar is still clickable even if it is outside the normal work area.

When struts are added or removed only move the windows that cover the same area, leave all others untouched.
If a strut is removed on a xinerama screen that is not on the edge of the full desktop area prevent the windows from being moved offscreen.

Prevent struts/panels from interfering with the movement of windows on other xinerama screens.

Peter Penz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/dolphin/src/panels/information:

* Use Nepomuk for getting the meta data instead of KFileMetaInfo.
* Use a QScrollArea widget to embedd the meta data, as Nepomuk provides so much meta information that it might not fit into the panel.

Open issues:
* Add the possibility to configure which kind of meta information should be shown.
* Check whether the receiving of the meta data for one file also might block the UI like when using KFileMetaInfo in combination with strigi.

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin/effects:

Add new "sheet" effect based on fade.
This effect animates appearing and disappearing of modal dialogs.

Inspired by a Compiz Fusion effect (<a href="http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/they-say-when-you-start-something/">http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/they-say-when-you-start-something/</a>;) and seems to be a Mac OS X animation as well.

Jakub Stachowski committed changes in /branches/work/sonnet-multilang:

Rough API for grammar checkers.
LanguageTool-based example plugin (it even works if the stars are right and you manually start LanguageTool in server mode)

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 13 more) Revision 927576
Michael Leupold committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/kwalletd:

Add simple notification to kwalletd: If kwalletd requests a password but the password dialog isn't visible (minimized, other desktop), show a notification with a button to raise the password dialog (or rather its parent window) to front.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 927620
Sebastian Kügler committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/lionmail:

Improved body decoding, support for HTML emails

Part of this is taken from Tom Albers Mailody, adapted to my limited needs.
Display of HTML emails is rather wonky, since some of these abortions assume a white background.
Something for Air to look out.
This needs to be configurable.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 927683
Martin Gräßlin committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin/effects/cube:

Adding windows overlapping edges to cube slide animation.
Overlapping windows from target desktop are faded in and windows from source desktop are faded out.
This looks really good for slow animation speed but for normal speed it's kind of flashy.

So perhaps I'll add an option to turn it off...

Michael Jansen committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/khotkeys/kcm_hotkeys:

Finally allow configuring enable gestures.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Revision 928168
Nick Shaforostoff committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kross:

-extend kross::plugin to be multiinstantiable even more.
-add a 'searchingpath' feature to kross::action.
this way we can use relative urls in scripts.rc scripts will be looked in system, home, or custom-specified (when using new c'tor) location. i needed this as Lokalize allows projects to be relocatable and be shared among several people

-implement scripts.rc saving in plugin d'tor (only if file already existed).
this is the first step in implementing GUI-based scripts.rc editing.

-optimize the model a bit.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Revision 928172
Cyrille Berger Skott committed changes in /trunk/playground/libs/webkitkde/kdewebkit/kwebpage.cpp:

use font size from konqueror's settings

Sebastian Trueg committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/nepomuk:

Allow to enable indexing of specific hidden folders. In contrast to other folders hidden folders are disabled by default.
I am not sure if this is a perfect solution but it fits the most common use-case: only enabling the indexing of a single hidden folder.

Since this introduces a new string it sadly cannot be backported to KDE 4.2.

Petri Damstén committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdeplasma-addons/applets/weatherstation:

Add 'show background' option. Looks good with Air

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Revision 928274
Sebastian Trueg committed changes in /trunk/kdesupport/soprano/backends/virtuoso:

Added new Virtuoso backend - not activated yet

now we read and write them on disk

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 928452
Artur Duque de Souza committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/plasmate/editors:

- First cut of a metadata editor, displays the contents of a plasmoid desktop file.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 1 more) Revision 928471
Artur Duque de Souza committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/plasmate/editors/metadata:

- Add support for querying the available APIs of each type.
This seems to work ok.

The next step is to rewrite this whole class to use the metadata member as its main store so we can remove all the hacks in here that will make the i18n team cry.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3 Revision 928517
Artur Duque de Souza committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/plasmate/editors/svg:

- Start a plasma svg viewer.
We don't use QSvgWidget as we want to support plasma specific facilities such as framesvg.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Revision 928548
Artur Duque de Souza committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/plasmate/editors:

- Support for previewing framesvgs.
- Support for autodetecting framesvgs.
- Test cases for framesvgs.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Revision 928561
Artur Duque de Souza committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/plasmate:

Integrate previewer in the main window

Now previewer got integrated in main window and we just need to add and remove applets from it in order to have a really useful previewer.

Marco Martin committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/libknotificationicon:

add a library source compatible with KSystemTrayIcon, for now it's simply a stupid wrapper on a ksystemtrayicon instance, but will support the new cool dbus based spec

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Revision 928646
David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui:

Support for generic-icon fallbacks when loading mimetype icons.
For instance "application-x-fluid" isn't available but "x-office-document" is used instead as specified in shared-mime-info xml (see /usr/share/mime/generic-icons for a full list), while when loading "image-whatever" it falls back to "image-x-generic" as specified in the shared-mime-info spec (since this one has no entry in the generic-icons file).

David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs:

Support for letting the user change mimetype icons.
The GUI part is done but has to wait until Monday since it will use this new API.

Lucas Murray committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/shells/desktop:

Add "Windows go below" panel visibility mode.
Identical in all ways to the default mode except doesn't set a strut.
Useful if the user wants the panel to always be visible but not take up window maximization space.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3 Revision 928758
Michael Pyne committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines/nowplaying/playerinterface:

Add support to the NowPlaying data engine for the recent addition of JuK artwork over DBus.

Sebastian Kügler committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/lionmail:

Support for a couple of flags
New, important and task are supported right now.
Also, don't show the tooltip in a panel.

Jesper Thomschütz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/kxkb:

Can now drag and drop keyboard layouts between the two views.
Also, in the process elminated the bug of being able to add the same layout twice.

Ian Reinhart Geiser committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/blazer:

added a popup clock and ability to configure the clock via the mouse.
added load/save to history for the launcherbar.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Revision 929207
Ben Cooksley committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/kcontrol4/src:

Implement settings and state saving for plugins.
Make plugin initialisation safer.
Allow the tree view to be dynamically resized, still needs work on good initial size + session saving

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Revision 929315
Lucas Murray committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin:

Added EffectFrame, a helper class that creates, manages and caches a Plasma frame object.
There are two ways to use this class: The first is in "static" mode which gives the frame a set geometry and will not change, the second is an automatic mode that creates the smallest possible frame around the specified contents.
Contents can either be normal text and/or a QPixmap, useful for displaying the caption and icon of the currently highlighed window.

Known:
- Does not detect Plasma theme changes, known to be in the Plasma library.
- Slight graphical glitches, known to be in Qt 4.5.0 RC1.

Untested:
- What happens when there is no Plasma theme installed.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 2 more) Revision 929324
Urs Wolfer committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/kernel:

Implement QStyle#standardIconImplementation in KStyle to return KDE icons.
At the moment I have only added dialog button icons; others can be added later easily.
Also enable icons on buttons (respecting settings).
This way at least the print dialog looks much more KDE-ish.

Sebastian Kügler committed changes in /trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/lionmail:

Multiple collections support

It's still lacking in some place (saving config, setting all fields correctly, filtering new emails into the correct extender, ...), but the basics for having more than one extender, and thus showing more than one collections at the same time are there.

Now it needs a lot of polishing...

Jonathan Marten committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdepim/kmail:

Add a "Maintenance" tab to the folder properties dialogue.
This gives some information about the folder, its file and index locations and sizes, and the content and messages.

For mbox folders, the compaction state and a button to do it is here (still also in the folder context menu).
A folder can be compacted (at the user's own risk) even if it was previously marked "unsafe".

Other dangerous operations ("Rebuild Index" and "Rebuild IMAP Cache") have been moved from the context/menubar menus to here.

Moved the "mark_all_as_read" action back to the top of the folder popup menu, as suggested by aseigo.

Added some hooks (KMFolderDialog::setPage() and KMMainWidget::PropsPage enum) to embed the other folder properties into this dialogue, if there can ever be agreement on the usability of this.

So it's not a fix for bug 115611, but it's a start...

The picture shape doesn't save the actual picture.

Optimization

Development Tools

David Nolden committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdevplatform/language/duchain/duchain.cpp:

Completely workover the m_chainsMutex locking, moving the locks around so all the expensive I/O operations happen without the central mutex locked.

This significantly reduces the amount of UI lockups caused by background-parsing or missing-include completion.

KDE Base

Aaron J. Seigo committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdeplasma-addons/applets/frame:

major refactoring of things:

* consistent naming of member variables
* rely on QGraphicsItem to do the caching for us and make paintInterface a naive painter
* make the SlideShow tell the outside world when there is a new image to show
* let the SlideShow handle potd dataengine updates
* don't hold onto the source image in memory for longer than needed

so now the SlideShow handles all the image loading and the Applet just paints whenever it's told to.

the performance increase is impressive and instantly recognizable: try rotating or dragging an image frame around the desktop.

Joshua Levesque committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/shells/desktop:

Speed up panel resize by eliminating extra calls to PanelView::updateStruts().
Added a one shot timer.
When resizing stops long enough for it to timeout, then updateStruts() is called.

David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kio:

Speed up deletion of deep directories by speeding up the slow part of it: the recursive listing
- no need to stat() before opendir(), we can use the error codes from opendir to handle "it's a file" and "it doesn't exist"
- no need to stat() every file in this particular case of recursive-listing-for-deletion, we just need to know if file/dir/symlink, which opendir tells us.

The testcase from bug 174144 (5000 subdirs) went from 20+ seconds to 13 seconds here.
Better but not perfect, since this testcase should ideally take about 3 seconds.

David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kio:

Implement recursive deletion inside kio_file.
Brings down the 13-seconds testcase to 2 seconds, although it kills progress information completely for the case of "deleting one directory with stuff in it".

Jos van den Oever committed changes in /trunk/kdesupport/strigi/src/streams:

Rewrite the implementation of ArchiveReader

The new implementation is more effient in listing contents of directories.
Now single directory entries can be returned without the need for reading the entire archive of which the directory is a part.
This is very useful for GUI applications which want to interactively list the contents of archives.

The implementation is rather tricky and has spent quite a long time in a local git repository.
It is now good enough for addition to the Strigi trunk.

Michael Jansen committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime:

Implement kdedglobalaccel as a standalone demon.
The decision was made because beeing a kded module made it subject to the problems of all other kded modules.

If some module froze kded it could happen that the X frooze completely for some seconds or it seems like the alt-key is stuck.

Rename everything kdedglobal* to kglobal* for convenience.

This commit requires a recompile of at least kdelibs too. You will loose global shortcut on your next session login or kded/application restart.

If you want kcmshell4 keys to work again please recompile kdebase-workspace too.

This cmake code is supposed to delete the two files remaining from kglobalaccel being a kded moudle from your installation area.

If you encounter problems after recompilation please check if they were successfully removed.

Michael Jansen committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/keys:

Put "Import configuration", "export configuration" and "cleanup" into one menu on the same row as the component combo box.

I'm open for wording suggestions for

- the text on this menu button (currently "File")
- the text in the confirmation dialog after "Revise Component".

The idea behind "Revise Component" is to remove stale global shortcuts registrations because

a) The complete application was deinstalled.
b) The application was renamed or otherwise lost track of some of it's registrations. Happened to plasma and amarok.

So we just remove all registrations for currently not active global shortcuts. If nothing is left the complete component / application is removed too.
This does no harm because an application on startup reregisters everything we just deleted.
Now could someone please reformat this description into something suitable for the dialog.
I'm a much better at programming than at wording in this cases.
And that says more about my wording skills than my programming skills :-)

== Forms Refactoring ==
First phase of Kexi Forms Module refactoring.
The main reason is to simplify the codebase and prepare it to future enchancements like subforms, reports integration, and tabbed main window design.

Detailed reasons for refactoring:
--The process of instantiating a form (the Form class) is very complicated now what makes it very hard to properly implement subforms
--The code full of interdependencies and thus is fragile when adding new functionality or fixing bugs
--The FormManager class centralizes a number of operations that shall belong to Form itself
--The naming of methods and classes can be improved, e.g. Form -> FormController
--The ObjectTree* classes introduce redundancy as we already have QWidget hierarchy, and extensible property system; this complicates the code
