With KDE3 I could configure the pager (used to switch desktops) and had
control over the font and background so that the names were easily
readable.
Ever since SL (and Fedora) introduced KDE4, I've been frustrated in my
attempts to get readable text in the pager. I'm sure there is something
buried under lots of other facts, but I can't seem to ferret it out. I'm
hoping that I can get a pointer to the configuration file that controls
the display of the pager.
TIA

Hello Konstantin,
you can get newer versions from http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ , basically
they rebuild from the latest Fedora - last I mirrored they were at 4.10. But
it's a small project and releases are sparse, which is not
good for security in the long term.
For our systems we are looking into rebuilding on SL(C)6 the KDE-4.10 that will
be in TUV 7, so as to have a reliable source for long-term support. For now
we're starting with rebuilding the KDE 4.10 from FC19.
Feel free to mail me off-list if you could be interested to share this project.
Cheers,
Sergio

Hi, there.
It looks like the stock SL6 KDE konqueror web browser does not work for
many modern web applications
because of an insufficient javascript implementation.
Sure enough, SL6 seems to arrive with KDE 4.3 which was released in 2009.
Does anybody know how to graft a newer KDE into SL6? (Actually, just a
newer konqueror would be enough)
KDE are up to 4.11.2 now...
P.S. Why konqueror? It is the only browser that still can run multiple
copies of itself.
Unlike firefox and google-chrome who refuse to start with an error
"this application is already running on computer X" when I sit in front
of computer Y and need to google something. (Computer X is in a different
building and I am google something there *too*) (NIS+NFS cluster).
