Description Mike McQuaid 2006-04-28 12:52:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          3.4.5 
OS:                Linux

I do not know when this occured, I'm sorry, and it seems to be a problem on my friends LFS system also.

Basically, there is no sign of KSim. The files are installed, but it does not appear in the Add New Panel on Kicker in KDE 3.5.2

Comment 1 Mike McQuaid 2006-04-28 12:54:53 UTC

As is typical, just as I file the bug, I find the problem!
Hidden=True in the $KDEDIR/share/apps/kicker/extensions/ksim.desktop

Is this default on KDE?
If, so, Why?

Comment 2 Jonathan Riddell 2006-04-29 16:51:53 UTC

Patch
http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu_10_show_ksim.diff

I'll apply it unless someone points out a good reason why KSim is hidden.

(Note that it'll show up in Add Panel, not Add Applet)

Comment 3 Carsten Lohrke 2006-08-22 20:45:41 UTC

share/applications/kde/ksim.desktop seems to be superfluous as well, given that there's no application to start up, just the panel extension.

Comment 4 Mike McQuaid 2006-09-06 17:31:32 UTC

This still seems to be in 3.5.4.

It seems slightly silly that code that works has just been disabled like this.

Is there a good reason?

Comment 5 Alistair Strachan 2006-09-06 17:43:29 UTC

Confirmed disabled in KDE 3.5.4 compiled from k.o sources.

Comment 6 Jonathan Riddell 2006-11-22 10:15:22 UTC

Committed, appologies for the delay.
