Or if you prefer Perth International, then add this: source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth International, Australia| http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/1954/ObservationsRSS.xml I can confirm that this solution works as long as you have first selected another source, then changed the source to the BBC one while you are not logged in to KDE4. You need the surrounding configuration information similar as follows: [Containments][1][Applets][15][Configuration] pressureUnit=hPa source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth, Australia|http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/92/ObservationsRSS.xml speedUnit=ms temperatureUnit=C updateInterval=30 visibilityUnit=km Though I do not think this should be simply typed in!? Be aware that if you are logged in, the source is saved as the last one selected in the menu. If you close the applet, the source in the above config file is blanked, along with the other specification data. Which unless you edit the file whilst not logged into KDE4, creates a catch 22. You try to select BBC in menu, then edit the file, then when you try to select the entry again in the plasmoid, it will not find the locality. So you try then by shutting the plasmoid, but the settings are gone. Therefore, use a working selection in the menu, log out of KDE, settings are saved, then edit the source line in your editor such as nano or vim. On next log in to KDE4, select BBC, and it now works. Sorry if this is a long-winded explanation.

I've never heard of tweenview, but Nvidia has had a thing called TwinView for ages. And nvidia also likes to do their own thing in their own way.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE-4.3
Look at the output again. You don't need an earlier version of e2fsprogs-libs,
you need the very version that is the blocker.
But, to install KDE, portage wants to build util-linux first and it can't do
that because you have an incompatible version of e2fsprogs-libs already
installed. So like I said earlier,what you need to be is *first* give it a
version of e2fsprogs-libs, then remerge kde whereupon you will likely find
that util-linux no longer complains (as it likely finds a version of
e2fsprogs-libs that it is happy with)

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE-4.3
Dave: Below are steps I have done to avoid this problem on my machine.
Hope this may help in your case
1. emerge --fetchonly e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs
2. Unmerge e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs
3. Emerge e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs. After that e2fsprogs blocked
problem will be gone then we can continue updating our system.
