Hi all, 

I''m working on a short list of issues which can be improved when
packaging
and running KDE 4 on Debian. What are the two-three most important issues 
to address and maybe fix. 

I''ve already got suggestions improving KNetworkManager with mobile 
broadband modem integration[1]. Several improvements and fixes was 
suggested from KDE before releasing Qt 4.5[2]. This are example of things 
I''m looking for. 

My question: What''s the top two-three things which could be improved on
Qt/KDE integration on Debian, making it really shine? And how do you think 
we should address those improvements?

2. http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/12/04/how-kde-4-is-blocking-qt-45/

Best regards

update-notifier and update-manager for KDE.

Unless I''m off track, this is a standard feature on Windows desktops
and now
on GNOME desktops, but there is nothing "native" to KDE.

Also, bluetooth support has been suffering for many years and is currently 
completely broken for KDE 4 in Debian.

Yes, I agree.

1. Networkmanager with some plasmoid that is developed 
(http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3713). This is a must for a the wifi 
users.
2. Some kind of updater of the deb packages with a neat integration with 
the user permissions. Currenly, I use update-notifier that is run be an 
script from ~/.kde/Autostart with sudo. But I guess that this is only a 
hack. I guess that is something going on with policykit.

Hi,

very late reply but QPrinter needs love.
ask Pino Toscano (okular), I guess he has many things to say about it.

cheers,

Yes, please look at QPrinter. Many KDE users in Debian keep kpdf just because 
they lack features :-( (and I am one of those :-) )
