!! Removing the silly
dragon from [
KDE]
's Logout window
-When you logout from
KDE you will see a cute cartoon of a dragon in the
logout window. It is called
[Konqi|http://dot.kde.org/988686464/]. After your 100th logout Konqi will no longer be
cute. The dragon cartoon is stored in
a [PNG] file called __shutdownkonq.png__ which can be overwritten
with anything you like.
(Pictures
with transparent backgrounds will look the best
.) This file is found in the directory __/usr/X11R6/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__
on RedHat, __/usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on [Mandrake] and in __/opt/kde3/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__ on SuSE.
+The [
KDE]
logout window shows
[Konqi | http://dot.kde.org/988686464/], a cartoon of a dragon that is
cute about twice and then gets annoying
. If you want to get rid of it, find
a [PNG] file called __shutdownkonq.png__ on your system and overwrite it
with anything you like (preferrably an image
with a
transparent background)
. The exact location varies
on different systems:
-''(I almost forgot
: IsomerMadeMeDoThis.)''
+; RedHat
: __/usr/X11R6/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__
+; [Mandrake] : __/usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__
+; [Suse] : __/opt/kde3/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/__

-!! Changing KDE's default web browser
+On other systems, locate(1) should help you hunt down the file.
-By default,
KDE will open web links using konquerer. There
's nothing in the GUI config that will let you change this, nor is there any help in kde.org's own FAQ's or mailing lists, and a google search turns up many people asking how with very few functional replies. Usually they suggest changing the MIME associations for text/html, which only changes how KDE opens html documents when they're sitting on your desktop.
+!!! Changing [
KDE]
's default web browser
-So
, after almost six hours of googling, asking
on IRC, and generally making
a pest
of myself I finally found out that under debian at least it is trivially easy; just set
the BROWSER environment variable to point to
the browser you want
.
+By default
, [KDE] will open links using Konqueror. There's nothing in the [GUI] configuration that will let you change this. Neither the [FAQ]s
on kde.org nor the MailingList archives contain any hints. A [Google] search turns up
a lot
of people asking but very few functional replies. The common suggestion of changing
the association for
the text/html [MIME] type only changes the how [HTML] documents on your HardDrive are opened
.
-This doesn't appear
to actually be documented anywehre that google knows about, so hopefully mentioning it on the WIKI will help a few people
.
+The general way is
to have __~/
.kde/share/config/kfmclientrc__ read as follows:
-ANOTHER way of doing this is to make
/edit the file ~
/.kde/share/config
/kfmclientrc as follows:
+ [[Settings]
+ !ExternalBrowser=
/path
/to
/browser
-;:__[
[Settings
]__
-;:
__!ExternalBrowser=/
path.to/browser/binaryfile__
+On
[Debian
], however, you should simply set the
__BROWSER
__ EnvironmentVariable to the
path to the WebBrowser you want
.
