    Some days back, while compiling kdebase, I faced the following errors-

    Recently after recompiling my KDE build, I was exploring what has changed in the few weeks when my notebook wasn't with me. Marco is really working hard on the netbook shell and I thought to give it a try. Man, it looks superb and I like that on my notebook :)
    Anyway, I switched back to the regular Plasma desktop and after I logged back in, plasma-desktop refused to start automatically. I tried removing my .kde, but no luck.

    I've been thinking of starting this before, but now I'm really compelled to. As given in the details, I am currently doing my B.E. from BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore which is supposedly one of the top 3 colleges in Bangalore.
    I was happy the day I entered the college and the hostels (which is more like home, for one odd exception to be discussed), but soon realised that its going to be difficult.

    So, four of us - Jatin, Megha, Me and Siddharth were selected as Sun OSUM leaders for the college, and Software Freedom Day 2009 was the first experience for our team.

    If Amarok is to be built from source the Qt Script Generator at http://code.google.com/p/qtscriptgenerator/ is required. However after going through the compile steps in the package, the following errors are encountered

    make[2]: Entering directory
    `/users/user/downloads/software/qt/generator/svn.080725/qtbindings/qtscript_phonon'
    make[2]: *** No rule to make target
    `../../generated_cpp/com_trolltech_qt_phonon/main.cpp', needed by `debug/main.o'. Stop.

    ecently I was working on a Qt app requiring Drag and Drop support. The documentation says that to use this on a QWidget, we need to set
    dialog.setAcceptDrops(true);
    I tried that but the cursor still showed the "not -allowed" symbol. This was bit confusing making me think that there's some internal problem. But actually the implementation of the following event handlers is mandatory to make it work-
     

    void Dialog::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event)

    In Qt, when an object is dropped onto a widget the following event handler is to be used to get the list of URLs of the dropped objects-
     

    void Dialog::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event)

    {

    if (mimeData->hasUrls()) {

    QList urlList = mimeData->urls();

    qDebug() << urlList.at(0).path();

    As pointed out on BUG: 187241 , Folder View applet didn't support navigation using the HOME and END Keyboard keys. Again, this greatly reduced the usability of the applet as a replacement for the normal Desktop.

    This revision adds the required support to the applet so that navigation to the first and last icons.
