Re: City of Largo Adopts KDE 2.1.1

Yes, it is most definetly possible to turn off the things in the menu you wanted turned off, except for "Run Command". It's in the kicker settings area in the Control Center, under the Menus tab.

Hmm, as for Kicker autorefresh, I have no idea why that should take so long. Doesn't kicker simply watch it's desktop file directory using the KDirWatcher class (sp?), which iirc uses the kernel to watch for processes. Could someone check this?

I think the problem with Kicker is that it check for changes periodically and with 200+ people accessing the network at once, it creates a huge bottleneck. Maybe if there is some small amount of randomness in the timing, it would be less of a load on the network.

Not really randomness, but with the following lines in sharec/config/kdedrc you can tell it how often to poll.

E.g: the following configures local fs once 0.5 seconds and non-local FS once each 5 seconds, which also happens to be the default.

[General]
PollInterval=500
NFSPollInterval=5000

Cheers,
Waldo

Yes, the autorefresh uses KDirWatch, so he should simply install libfam and reconfigure, to get rid of the polling.

The kernel support called dnotify is currently disabled again, 'cause not working properly yet.

Actually, the preferred kernel support for fam is called imon, and can be obtained from
<URL:http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/download/>. There are others who are doing work with fam/dnotify rather than fam/imon since dnotify has made it into the standard kernel sources.
