    Ah, so it is a genuine Microsoft patch.

    Did you increase the background buffer in KDE? I think it defaults to 8MB, which is pretty small if you have several wallpapers on a high-resolution desktop.

  5. Re:New File Selector - WOO HOO on A Look at the Upcoming GNOME 2.6 · · Score: 1
    I always wondered why the GTK file selector is the scapegoat of UI design..

    I suppose because it took until 2004 for it to be fixed. The old Mac one was "fixed" by OS X years ago.

    The QA people I've known were familiar with email but wouldn't know a newsgroup from a hole in the ground. I would think that people in general would be more experienced with email (or even chat) than news, but I'm just guessing.

    I don't suppose there is a rule preventing a KDE developer from creating packages for a distribution, but that doesn't obligate the project as a whole to maintain packages for various distributions.

    I'm afraid I don't know anything WRT the hosting issue.

    Enforceable conformance requirements are intrinsically incompatible with what people mean by "open source".

    Can you explain how you arrived at this conclusion? I don't see how this would be incompatible with open source software, unless one of the conformance requirements is that the implementation can't be open source.

    I'm not trying to say you're wrong or trying to flame you. I've just never seen this argument before, and I don't understand how your conclusion follows from your premises. Oh, and if you already explained it in your earlier posts to this thread, then I'm afraid it went over my head. Please assume I'm dumb, because I am.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the update. The last I'd heard, there was no maintainer. I don't do any CD burning; I only use ide-scsi for tape backups. And Arkeia only talks to SCSI devices, so I'm kinda stuck if ide-scsi is broken. Glad to hear that it'll still be supported.

    According to the ide-cd maintainer ide-scsi is on the way out.

    I've heard that, too. It's a show-stopper for me. I need ide-scsi so Arkeia can back up to my ATAPI tape drive.
