Sneak Peeks at openSUSE 11.2: KDE 4.3 Experience, with Lubos Lunak
[Posted October 28, 2009 by jake]
openSUSE News has a
look
at the upcoming 11.2 openSUSE release. It focuses on the KDE 4.3
experience in the release, and interviews KDE hacker Lubos
Lunak. "
There were attempts at making Qt ports of Firefox in the
past, but as far as I know there has never been one that would be really
usable (and with the advances of WebKit and the fact that it's shipping
with Qt I don't see that happening in the future). The reason for why we
could achieve something in a few days that has been missing for years is
down to the fact that I aimed pretty low — this is not a port of
Firefox, but it's the same Gtk-based version of Firefox, with 'if running
in KDE, call this small helper app' code inserted in desktop-specific
places doing most of the job. Even with this approach I think Firefox now
integrates into KDE reasonably well."
