[Synaptic-devel] Kynaptic patch -- KDE integration

[Bertrand Haut]

Hello,

I've have made some important modifications to kynaptic in order to make it 
more integrated with the KDE. The modified files are in attachement (Sorry, I 
still don't know how to make proper patches but I will learn).

For the user, the modifications are :
-----------------------------------------------------

 - the use of the KDE standard icon for some actions (quit, undo, redo ...)
 - the use of some standard shortcut for some actions (CTRL+Q quit,CTRL+Z 
undo,...)
 - the possibility for the user to specify his own shortcut
 - the size of the window is saved between two launches of the program
 - the layouts of some windows are corrected

The technical changes :
----------------------------------

 - the files rqmainwindow are split in two : rqmainwindow and 
rqmainwindow_view
 - the main window derives from a KMainWindow.
 - the binding between the menu in the main window and the actions are made 
using KAction.
 - the menus in the main window are described using a XML file kynapticui.rc



Note : in order to see the menus and the button in the main window, you need 
to do a "make install" after having build the program.


What's next ? There is still some work to make it more KDE-like :
 - fill the "about kynaptic" and "report bug" window 
 - fill the configure toolbar
 ....
 and most important : being able to see the description of the packages in the 
main window. Maybe If you can tell me how I can access to this description, I 
can look for it.

I had the same idea.
