KDE 2.2 Released

Posted by Hemos on from the come-and-get-it dept.

Well, we had covered it being tagged last week, and now, after a hardware problem with one of the main download servers, KDE is ready for download. Except that you'll probably want to go to the mirrors to actually get it. You can get more about it about it from Dre's dot.kde post, or you can read the KDE announcement - and have a good time!

  1. Site-specific popup policy by kdgarris · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Konqueror already has the ability to allow or not allow Javascript on a per-site basis,a nd also has an option to disable the Javascript window.open function globally, but what I'd really like to see is the ability to disable window.open on a site-specific basis as well.

    Popup windows are annoying on some (okay, most) sites, but a few require them in order to make use of the site.

  2. Mosfet's Liquid Style Engine by kdgarris · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For a great visual effect, check out the Liquid style engine which was designed for this version of KDE. I'm running it now, and it looks beautiful:

  3. KDE and Ximian Gnome Can't Get Along? by idonotexist · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Apt-getting kde, noticed kde removes gdm. I thought --- well, I'll install kde 2.2 and then reinstall gdm. After installing kde, apparently an install of gdm is not possible without removing kdm and kde.

    While I enjoy using gnome more than kde, I like to occassionally use kde by selecting kde in gdm. However, with kde 2.2, this no longer seems possible. Does someone have any suggestions to allow gdm with kde 2.2?

  4. Ok, user friendly with no installer? by joshv · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Such a major project with an emphasis on usability and user friendliness and the package has no installer. Sure different distros can wrap it up in whatever package manager they use, but this is still a pain. Why can't they have something like mozilla's binary installer so end users (who may not know their distro) can download it and just go.
