[00:06] <ScottK> apachelogger: We should.  It's a kmail depends and it's on the CD.
[00:06] <apachelogger> then I think this bug indicates a problem with the defaults
[00:08] <ScottK-laptop> apachelogger: For the pykdeuic4 bug fix, pykdeuic4 was always a symlink to pykdeuic4.py and so I just moved the symlink.
[00:08] <ScottK-laptop> It would have been more complete probably to move pykdeuic4.py too.
[00:09] <apachelogger> well, as said the whole report is pretty much theoretically anyway since -dev depends on the python-kde4 package anyway
[00:09] <apachelogger> I am going to try get that sorted once and for all
[00:10] <ScottK-laptop> Great.

[01:43] <apachelogger> ScottK-laptop: dragonplayer
[01:43] <ScottK-laptop> Thanks.
[01:44] <ScottK-laptop> So I have to have a 'place' predefined?
[01:45] <ScottK-laptop> apachelogger: ?
[01:45] <apachelogger> well, it makes things easier
[01:45] <apachelogger> you could also use splitview and dragndrop
[01:45] <apachelogger> or you just copy then change the url manually and paste
[01:45] <ScottK-laptop> OK.  I guess I have to get over to my aversion to Dolphin.
[01:45] <ScottK-laptop> At least it has tabs now.
[01:45] <ScottK-laptop> Thanks.
[01:45] <apachelogger> :)
[01:47] <ScottK-laptop> apachelogger: Works.  Thanks.
[01:48] <ScottK-laptop> Off to clean the kitchen.
[02:02] <ScottK-laptop> So when I saw Dolphin split screen it reminded me of Krusader.  That works too.
[02:03] <ScottK-laptop> Dag nabit, I liked having Konqueror do everything.
[02:18] <ScottK-laptop> apachelogger: I'll sponsor the kdeartwork one.  I've having that bug, so I can test it.

[17:52] <apachelogger> and KDE got a lot of empty Path keys
[17:52] <apachelogger> and JontheEchidna and I are not really sure whether it is an issue in GNOME or in the desktop files

[19:27] <ScottK> No problem.  Those are easy enough.
[20:18] <apachelogger> ryanakca: what to do, make the drupal theme scalable or the wiki static?
[20:18]  * apachelogger finds the size of the drupal theme unsufficient for the wiki
[20:19] <apachelogger> then again changing the theme for the wiki is a) weird b) awful looking c) distrubing a user when trying to clix0r through all the top right links
