OpenOffice on KDE 4 issues
Hi
I am busy porting fpicker to gbuild, and needed to test its KDE 4 version,
and ended up fixing a bug there, and a VCL bug on KDE that stopped AOO from
starting.
However we still have this duplicate text issue in the menu, and dialog
corruption:
Any KDE users? Any thoughts?
Thank you
Damjan

Thanks for the good analystic work. Maybe this is exactly a problem for
the dublicate menus. Maybe OpenOffice renders the manu twice. first with
normal Linux and seccond with kde4. And finaly you have the text twice.
I have to say, I'm not familiar with this source. It's just a srange
idea from an "outside view."
Regards, Raphael

Checking for usage of ENABLE_KDE and ENABLE_KDE4 on OpenGrok:
* main/cui/source/options/optgdlg.cxx and
main/filepickers/source/unx/kde4 deal with file pickers.
* main/shell/source/backends/kdebe reads KDE's network proxy settings,
the external mailer, source view font properties, etc.
* main/vcl/unx/kde4 deals with libQt's main loop integration, event
filtering, decides which controls to draw natively, matches fonts with
system fonts, input methods, etc.
* main/toolkit/source/layout/core/dialogbuttonhbox.cxx selects
ordering for dialog buttons
These are generally tasks that go beyond what Freedesktop provides.

Mostly, the KDE specific build option is no longer needed. Both KDE and Gnome use Freedesktop interfaces now. That interface via VCL may need some tweaking, I don't know. When I tried to build with "--enable-KDE" at least 2 years ago, it was a bit of a chore due to the overhead of installing the needed KDE development stuff. Better to just concentrate on Freedesktop and ditch the KDE specific code altogether I think.
