Description Vladimir Brik 2008-02-25 23:16:49 UTC

Ebuilds for kdebase and kdelibs 3.5.8, 3.5.9 are missing Lubos Lunak's KDE "xinerama improvements" patch http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/xinerama/

Earlier ebuilds seemed to use this patch, as functionality described on the webpage above stopped working after upgrading from 3.5.6 or 3.5.7 (don't remember).

Lunak's corresponding qt3 patch still appears to be applied by qt3 ebuilds, but I think it's pointless if kdebase and kdelibs aren't similarly patched.

Comment 1 Vladimir Brik 2008-02-25 23:25:15 UTC

related bugs: 
Lunak's post https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86865

A bug that probably prompted inclusion of Lunak's patches
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175180
The problem now is that with newer unpatched kde versions it's impossible to get the described behavior that many people with xinerama and "focus follows mouse" policy may want.

Comment 2 Vladimir Brik 2008-03-09 16:56:34 UTC

Found out that the patches aren't part of KDE (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158424). Patches here http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/xinerama/ don't work for 3.5.9 though.

Comment 8 Vladimir Brik 2008-03-29 01:10:18 UTC

The patches apply to 3.5.8 and 3.5.9 and were tested with KDE 3.5.9.

kdelibs patch affects kwin and kdesktop. If applied from those ebuilds, the kdelibs patch needs to be split accordingly, or it will complain about not finding files to patch.

Split patches are also attached.
