Thanks to everyone involved, it looks good so far.
How do I get notifications like usb drives etc. I assume it is something to do with qtnotifydaemon, but cannot find any docs on that.
Also how do you remove the clock on the desktop? |

If it's going to be more than a 2-3 weeks, I'm tempted to try the live qt-overlay version. One thing- if the overlay razor-qt live version is used can we still use the ~Arch qt version in portage, or will that require and/or pull in a live qt version? |
From what I heard both QupZilla and Razor-Qt are heading for a new release this month. But it is perfectly safe to use the live ebuild for both these packages with Qt 4.8.2. There is no need for live Qt (these ebuilds are unkeyworded for a reason), and Qt5 is still a work in progress. You may want to mask slot 5 of the qt-* packages for now, if you use the qt overlay, unless you want to experiment/develop with it.

I am installing it as soon as the new version is released. I think I will ditch icewm as my backup wm at that point.

To remove the desktop clock, go into .razor/desktop.conf, and remove the separate analog clock stanza marked "default," and then logout and back into razor.
However, don't remove any analogclock references under this heading: | Code: | [razor]
desktops\size=1
desktops\1\plugins=analogclock_{2223177a-4640-44a2-bff0-aaf2886dd6b9}, analogclock_{6ccd909b-ab7e-425c-b3c6-08a8be4e6903}, analogclock_{55d0c36c-f165-4e4a-bcad-1623062a6e40}, analogclock_{9f6aa240-ca6c-4ffd-a666-2abb76938dc3}, analogclock_default, iconview_default
mouse_wheel_desktop_switch=false |
Not sure why these two references are under the [razor] heading, but they don't appear to make any clocks appear on the desktop. All I have now is the normal panel clock on the right-hand side.

Just installed the new 1.3.5 QupZilla, and apparently there's no progress on the bookmark problems I mentioned on page 2 of this thread. As before, I can add individual bookmarks to the bookmarks toolbar from my 15 imported Firefox bookmark folders (grouped under the qupzilla bookmarks menu).
This is achieved by opening the Organize Bookmarks item in the menu, and dragging the selected single bookmark into the "Bookmarks in Toolbar" folder. However, this is not useful, unless you only use a few bookmarks.
What's needed is being able to place (drag) the 15 firefox bookmark folders (each populated with 50-100+ bookmarks and a few sub-folders) into Qupzilla "Bookmarks in Toolbar" folder, where they are instantly accessible.
Also, while you can drag a firefox folder to the "Bookmarks in Toolbar" folder, it only shows shows up as an empty un-named folder, and you can't add any bookmarks to it.
Further, it disappears if you restart Qupzilla. Still further, you still can't drag any folder or single bookmark up or down in anything under the Bookmarks menu, or even the "Organize Bookmarks" folders and lists."
Sadly, for me, a lack of these basic browser features still renders Qupzilla currently unusable. Are these features actually there, and I'm just missing something?
I just can't revert to having to scroll through a huge number of bookmarks folders under the one vertical Bookmarks menu. Further, I can't see reverting to a browser that lacks the Firefox "add bookmark here2" in each Bookmark Toolbar folder (and all individual subfolders). Maybe I could live with the little "click star/choose folder to save in" method, but only if the folders are shown on the Bookmark Toolbar.

Ah, I think I finally understand your issue.
You probably hit 2 problems:
1) qupzilla currently does not allow arbitrary path depths. You can't put folders into folders ("Toolbar menu" is just sort of a category). For me the import of the firefox bookmarks created one folder - "Firefox Import" - and put all bookmarks into that folder, even those from subfolders without creating them - a "flat view" of the firefox bookmarks.
As you somehow got subfolders there must have gone something wrong, leading me to
2) possible incompatibility between firefox bookmark storage and qupzilla import.
Which firefox version do you use?
How did you import those bookmarks? Did you select "firefox" and chose the places.sqlite? Or did you export firefox bookmarks to html and then import that file to qupzilla?

I've posted the same problem on the first page in this thread.
I am now running version 0.50.
I'd really like to switch from kde but I can't do without my wacomtablet.
I am running kwin as WM.
I've installed several kde parts and of course kde-misc/wacomtablet.
So far when I try kde systemsettings for graphic tablet I get | Code: |
dbus connection to the kded daemon not available.
Please start the Wacom tablet daemon and try again.
The daemon is responsible for tablet detection and profile support. |
Restarting kded4 doesn't help.
My tablet is recognized by the system ok,/var/log/Xorg.log shows it as soon as I plug it in.
And AFAIK there's no such thing as a "tablet daemon".
In my kde install everything works fine.
Please tell me how to solve this.
Gerard.

I installed gimp-2.8.2.
With the tablet plugged in I can see it in the gimp preferences.
But I need other adjustments to it than gimp offers.
I think I'll forget about razor and wait a year,then see if it'll work.
Gerard.

Hello,
I try razorqt for now. I could disable all *Kit related add-ons (power, suspend and mount) and it is fine.
I have a question : how can I change the window title bars? with obconf?
And is are there some simple CPU / battery monitors that don't depend on upower/ucpu/*, but using a KISS ACPI layer ?

I reply myself : obconf can change the apparence of the windows
But I didn't found a working non *Kit-dependant (or based on other DM) battery monitor.
Nevertheless, I see the battery status in emacs 
EDIT: there was a CPU monitor (USE="cpuload" on the panel plugin). And a battery monitor is on the pipe.

x11-misc/ptbatterysystemtray works with dbus, but I don't think you need any *kit

No, it really depends on upower, which needs *Kit.
The ebuild don't have the dependancy, but the homepage of that package explicitly says it's using upower/*Kit.

I needed to change the Chromium command line options for the application menu/quicklaunch buttons to use --disable-accelerated-compositing. Here is how I did it:
1. Find the config file for the application in /usr/share/applications.
For example:
| Code: | c-gbox applications # vim /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser-chromium.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Chromium
Type=Application
Comment=Open-source version of Google Chrome web browser
Exec=chromium-browser %U
TryExec=chromium-browser
Icon=chromium-browser
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x-scheme-handler/mailto;x-scheme-handler/webcal;
StartupWMClass=chromium-browser |
2. The key field to change here is "Exec", so I update mine
| Code: | | Exec=chromium-browser --disable-accelerated-compositing %U |
3. Finally, logoff and restart RazorQt (not sure if there is a quicker way.)
