KPager2 for Kicker
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is probably the most powerful pager on linux - yes it is a kicker applet! Check out the screenshot and help file for explanations.
///------#################-----
--------------------PATIENCE!-------------------
------#################-----///
Kicker of KDE 3.4 seems to have problems loading this applet. If you really want to test the applet, either
o kill kicker after starting KDE, wait until kicker is restarted and add kpager2, or
o start appletproxy /opt/kde3/share/apps/kicker/applets/kpager2.desktop
We are working on this.
KDE3.4 users! - Stay tuned.
KDE3.3 users! - Have fun! :)
PLEASE! -----------------------
For all of you experiencing this problem, give me you Versions of:
KDE, Qt, gcc, distribution.
thanks
------#################-----///
Installation:
=====================
untar kpager2-0.6.0.tar.bz2 and goto kpager2
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
su
make install
in kicker: right click menu -> Add -> Applet -> KPager2
Compilation Problems:
=====================
There might be some issues with the system clock. Since my computer believes a day has 19 hours, the file modification times are wrong and must be set by yourself before compiling. Do:
o find . -print -exec touch {} ;
Remove the autom4te.cache directory in case you don't use automake 1.7.
Packages:
=====================
o SuSE RPM's (thanks to Loki):

Sorry for the freezing. You need to disable the window dragging or set it to 'just set desktop' The problem is that it moves the window actually and everytime a complete redraw is made.

But that doesn't mean that it is the bug you reported.
The warning messages that appear on konsole are regular debugging messages of KPager2 (to track some bugs in KWin and Kicker that I discovered).
Please, if you experience any crashes, report the version and the FULL debug output (found in KDE's crash notification dialog).
If you find any bugs (no crashes), please discribe the wrong behaviour and the behaviour wherein you believe how it should be.

the only thing I have problems with still is KPager crashing when right clicked upon..
I don't know where to go to get the Crash Report, normally when something crashes in KDE it brings up the report i believe, but nothing comes up when KPager crashes..
Keep up the good work, this is a awsome applet/app

Ups. That was what i hoped to fix...! Well. Can you try to do the following?
Find out if it happens if
o you click an empty desktop,
o a desktop containming windows (but no window), or
o a window
Then, please find out the rc file in .kde for that applet and set
o showLauncher=false (case sensitive!)
Then tell me how it reacts on the three prompts listed above.
Thanks

I did as you asked and found that if you right click on a desktop with no windows it doesn't crash, if you right click on a window or a desktop with windows it does indeed still crash.
As for the showLauncher variable, I found it and it was set to "true", so I changed it to false and tried again with the same problem. (What exactly does it show? :)
Hope this helps at least a little bit.
Thanks

Thus far the main ones are if you click the Apply button after checking Show Name it freezes and I have to kill its PID.
Other than that, right clicking on the applet at all will cause it to crash with the following output (from start to crash):
appletproxy kpager2
KPager: received SIGNAL(KApplication::backgroundChanged(int==1)) with KBackgroundIface->isCommon()==0
KPager: received SIGNAL(KApplication::backgroundChanged(int==2)) with KBackgroundIface->isCommon()==0

KPager2: Warning: bug in kicker - Kicker doesn't have NET::skipPager set.
KPager2: Warning: bug in kicker - Kicker doesn't have NET::skipPager set.
KCrash: Application 'appletproxy' crashing...
Maybe thats a kicker problem? I dunno, no other applets have that problem..
I've never heard of NET::skipPager so i dunno what it is, maybe you do though

kpager2 themes provides that widget
too). I don't really like the
widget to be there (as I'm very used
to the kwin ALT-F2 option), which
really suites my need. Would it be
possible to make availability of the
'run command' widget configurable?
(Show 'run command' yes|no), similar
to show taskbar.
Something else: the Shifter theme seems
to zoom mcuh more than the Zoomer
theme. Shouldn't those 2 names be
swapped?
