Details that sometimes do matter

,----[ Quote ]
| Seeing that 4.4's KDM had no support for 
| differently sized wallpapers, I was about 
| to submit a copy of Plasma's code there 
| when I noticed that trunk has some code for 
| it. Of course, different from the rest 
| again. Also, the login sequence is 
| basically just lucky to be so smooth. The 
| splashscreen is supposed to stay visible 
| until Plasma is ready with its wallpapers 
| and panel layout. And there is code in 
| KSMServer to ensure this. And Plasma uses 
| it. Yet it's apparently not used properly - 
| during the first login, when there is more 
| setup to be done during login, it's 
| perfectly possible to see how the panels 
| are set up.

KOffice 2010 Summer Sprint Report

,----[ Quote ]
| Hot on the heels of the 2.2 release of 
| KOffice -- the first release we feel that 
| users can give a try and use for real work 
| -- the KOffice developers met in Essen-
| Horst in Germany, in the wonderful Linux 
| Hotel. Thanks to sponsorship by the KDE 
| e.V. and the hard work by Alexandra Leisse 
| and Inge Wallin, we could spend three days 
| discussing and hacking.
