Hi. I decided to try out the KDE 3.2 beta ebuilds. After a without-a-hitch emerge, I started using it just as normal. The Karamba program, which provides small system monitor eye candy for the desktop, has a display error that only occurs in KDE 3.2. Karamba's displays always appears on top of all other programs, where it "should" be sitting behind them, on the desktop itself, like it's gnome counterpart, Gdesklets. The url will demonstrate the problem effectively I think. Note that this does not happen to any other KDE versions, so I consider this a KDE 3.2 beta bug. This happens for all KDE 3.2 users, and is therefore reproducible every single time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge /usr/portage/kde-base/kde/kde-3.2.0_beta1.ebuild 2. Emerge /usr/portage/x11-plugins/karamba/karamba-0.17-r1.ebuild 3. Emerge /usr/portage/x11-plugins/superkaramba/superkaramba-0.33.ebuild 4. Emerge one of the karamba themes from /usr/portage/x11-plugins/ 5. Start Karamba or Superkaramba within KDE 3.2, select the theme, and try to put a window over it. Actual Results: Where it (the karama theme) _should_ go BEHIND the window, but instead the window slides under it, to create a buggy visual effect. Expected Results: The karamba theme should have gone in _under_ the window you put over it, just as a selected window whould over the desktop.
Ok, then you should probably report this to the people who develop Karamba so they can fix it.
Any progress on this in the past month? I can just tell this is going to be one of those bugs that stays in bugzilla forever :P~ Anyways, adding myself to this so I can remember to ask people if it works after 3.2 final comes out.
there is an easy fix, see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=969482&forum_id=67470
perhaps we should add a patch to correct the proble through the ebuild?
PLEASE FIX IT! ;-) The "easy" fix isn't easy, if you just want to emerge superkaramba. Stefan.
since this problem still exists in KDE 3.2 (release), it should be fixed with a small patch in the ebuild for current sources.
*** Bug 40839 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
the patch is now in portage
Yup, this fix works just fine.
Unfortunately x86 users still get an unpatched version. This version works much better than an unpatched superkaramba. I suggest to submit 0.33-r1 as stable.
