Description I am 2009-12-02 14:37:06 UTC

in <qt-*-4.6 there are many X11 keys not definied (XF86Sleep, XF86Battery, etc)

The Kubuntu-Team has fixed the Problem by patching kdelibs, to add the Kactions to the libs.

with kdelibs-4.3.3 the patch doesnt work but with kdelibs-4.3.4 it compiles just fine.

I have modified the patch a little bit, to work with gentoo



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to definie any XF86 special key to an KDE action
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
kdialog: "The key you just pressed isn't supported by Qt key you just pressed isn't supported by Qt"

Is this patch applied (or reported) upstream?

Comment 3 I am 2009-12-02 17:03:51 UTC

No I don´t think so.

The bug was reported on 2009-02-01 at the kde bugtracker, but there only links to the Kubuntu Patch. Here is the link to the original kde bugreport http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182672

There was a Problem in qt-gui , which was fixed upstream in qt-gui-4.6.0. (There was also a patch for qt-gui-4.5*)

the missing kaction in kdelibs was fixed in fedora and kubuntu (and maybe others), but I can´t find any fix from upstream.

the kubuntu provided patch, does the job for me .. so i wanted you to know

Comment 4 I am 2010-02-05 16:16:35 UTC

same with kdelibs-4.3.5 , but the patch is also working

Comment 5 Chuck Wegrzyn 2010-02-21 04:13:11 UTC

I just upgraded to 4.4/qt 4.6 and with an MS 7000 keyboard there are still dead keys (for instance the special F2-F5 keys don't work - Undo,Redo, etc).

Don't get me wrong, but since this looks like a QT bug, should it not be patched in QT?

For all kde-relevant arches qt-4.6 is stable now, so resolving.
