KDE Developer Sirtaj Singh Kang Interviewed

Posted by timothy on from the level-headed dept.

highwaytohell writes "Sirtaj Singh Kang is a KDE developer and an official spokesman for KDE in Australia. In this interview conducted by the Sydney Morning Herald he talks about how the KDE project manages to maintain its hierarchy, where he sees KDE in the future, Linux portability issues and the relationship between Trolltech and KDE developers. The article gives a good insight into how maintainers and developers work to maintain one of the more popular window managers for Linux. Certainly worth a read."

    In KDE 3.1, you can set it in the Control Center, but prior to that, you had to reconfigure X, generally a task that each distro handles differently (not to mention each X server). In SuSE, it's in the Control Center under Hardware/Graphic Cards and Monitor, but most distros don't place their configuration utilities in the KDE Control Center, which means you'll have to poke around. It only works if you're using XFree, but since most Linuxes do, you should have no problem. You can also rotate the screen on the same panel.

    Oh, and 3.1 isn't out quite yet - RC2 comes out tommrrow. It should be released in the next couple weeks.

    PyQt/sip (python bindings) have a more friendly license. The copyright notice is very permissive, it looks like the X11 license.

    Uh, I know. Admiral Kirk's real nemesis was Kahn. If my memory serves, Kang was a Klingon captain in a TOS episode (and maybe that Klingons-from-the-past DS9 ep.)

    I thought my comment was funny. People differ. (And feh to the offtopic moderator. That's where the interesting bits are here.)
