glibc/linker changes

I have kubuntu edgy and fedora core 6 on my laptop. KDE programs seem to start
a little faster on core 6, probably due to the DT_GNU_HASH option, and also
newer fontconfig.

Openoffice coldstart seems the same on both ( around 14 sec.), but warmstart
differs a lot:

Edgy: ~3 seconds
Core6: ~1 second

:-)

Can't wait for feisty, which should get these improvements as well.

Working on KDE 4 snapshot packages
by Kevin Kofler on Friday 27/Oct/2006, @05:25
Just FYI, I'm finishing my KDE 4 snapshot packages for FC5 and FC6, so we can keep up with OpenSuSE and Kubuntu. ;-) I'll let you know when they'll be ready.

by Christian on Friday 27/Oct/2006, @06:20
KDE 3.5.5 for FC6 is already available in KDE-RedHat repo (http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net). Right now it is in "testing" but soon (next week?) will be in "stable".

i maybe missed something
by blbecek on Friday 27/Oct/2006, @06:27
i maybe missed something but why is it here? this is nothing speciall about KDE, or is it? lots of distros have been released before with the rencent KDE in it, like Mandriva or Kubuntu, but does they get here? no, so what's a big deal?

Win + Key doesn't work in Fedora Core 6/X.org 7.1
by Artem S. Tashkinov on Sunday 29/Oct/2006, @04:10
Does anyone experience the same issue? http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=133920

The problem is that my KDE is unable to intercept 'Win + Key' keys combination.

This is how it happens: in Keyboards Shortcuts kcm module I choose to modify any global shortcut and e.g. press Win + Esc. I see "Win + " on the screen but when I press 'Esc', the only 'Esc' key got entered into the "Primary Shortcut". And yes I've already tried enabling "Multikey" mode with no success. It looks like my X.org 7.1 server doesn't treat Win key as a modifier - so it doesn't allow "Win" key to be pressed together with any other key.

Please, give me an idea how to solve this problem.

Various bugs
by szlam on Tuesday 14/Nov/2006, @08:48
FC6 broke ALSA support for my SB Audigy LS. Visor (Sony Clie) connectivity still doesn't work. Upgrade broke KDE startup - ``yum update'' fixed the issue. Upgrade hangs randomly on my HP/Compaq laptop. Yuck.
