Description Cláudio F. Gil 2004-11-19 14:40:32 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When kontact is restarted the feeds panel of akregator plugin always present the default width.

It would be nice if it preserved the last width, that is, the width it had when closed. This is already done in the akregator standalone program.

I don't really undestand what happened but it is doing what I whised for.

As far as I can tell this started working when I opened the main aKregator program.

I tested a few times before submiting the wish, I opened the main window (akregator standalone program) to see the problem existed there also and then, in the next day, the plugin started to behave the same way.

At least this is how I feel it, it mabe be just a coincidence.

The kontact plugin doesn't save the splitter sizes on exit.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Start kontact plugin, change splitter sizes, exit kontact
2. restart kontact. The modified splitter sizes from step 1 are not restored.

This happens because I found no way to save settings on exit in the kontact plugin. Since the kontact plugin only knows general KPIM::Part resp. KReadOnlyPart and not our akregatorPart with its methods like saveSettings(), you can't call such a method there.
You can't save settings in the akregatorPart destructor either, because at this point the singleton Settings object is already destroyed -> segfault.

I fixed that in CVS, works also in Kontact now.
