glade88hello.. kubuntu does not include an image editor by default (gimp is so much GTK, and okular and gwenview arent much help at editting images). can one be included?12:54
jussi01glade88: iirc, there are space issues...12:56
jussi01glade88: mind, if you want to just install one, go grab krita :)12:57
Hobbseenot at this point in release, i expect12:57
glade88the gimp binary is 7887KB.. why not remove one of okular or gwenview and include gimp12:57
glade88i have installed gimp.. krita may be worth a try :)12:58
glade88I shouldn't have asked this on two different channels simultaneously..12:59
Hobbseeglade88: because we are 5 days from release.13:00
glade88Hobbsee: oic.. and right.. its impossible at this stage13:00
glade88maybe jaunty?13:00
Hobbseeand gimp is gtk, and i'm fairly sure you'll have to add in other toolkit bits13:00
Hobbseeglade88: would prefer to see krita, etc, in there13:00
Hobbsee(for jaunty)13:01
glade88+1 .. I would prefer not dump my kde installation with gnome libs13:01

smarterhmm, wth13:04
smarteraptitude is talking to me in caps lock13:04
Hobbseesmarter: ahh, you're getting hit by that too.13:05
Hobbseei don't think the cause has ever been tracked down13:05
glade88Hobbsee: is it totally pointless to add a wishlist bug asking for inclusion of Krita in jaunty?13:05
smarterand international caps lock day was three days ago :P13:06
Hobbseeglade88: not sure.  I'd imagine that's one of the things that gets evaluated every release regardless.13:06
Hobbseeso, probably13:06
glade88Hobbsee: ok13:07
glade88is there a specific reason why Konqueror does not support Ctrl+Enter? (ie, auto add www and .com to website names)- this feature is really very handy13:28
Hobbseeglade88: ask #kde or something for that.13:39

smarterapachelogger, ScottK, Riddelll: could one of you please upload this simple fix? http://smarter.free.fr/pkg/kdeaccessibility_4.1.2-0ubuntu2_to_ubuntu3.debdiff15:52
ScottKsmarter: At this point I'm nervous about any more Main uploads that aren't absolutely essential (I think that one could go in -updates).  I'd prefer to wait for Riddelll and get his opinion.15:55
smarterokay, because I'm trying to enable the accessibility stuff, and this is a bit of a problem since one of the accessibility profile use kmousetool15:57
smartermaybe I should just left all the accessibility stuff disabled15:57
ScottKMost of the stuff in queue right now is Universe and so this'll mostly jump to the front if we upload it, so waiting a bit for Riddelll shouldn't be a major issue.15:58

ScottKRiddell: For the stuff in New: Electric was removed when it shouldn't have been so we're getting -0ubuntu1 back from Debian as -1 essentially and the binary New bit saves needing transitiional packages and a diff from Debian in the future.18:52

smarterequivalent to the "I'm feeling lucky" button of Google19:40
smarterit's the same behaviour as Firefox19:40
