RHBA-2008:0811 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated kdelibs packages that fix the bugs are now available.

Description

The kdelibs packages contain a set of common libraries used by all
applications written for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

This package addresses the following bugs:

• The desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart were ignored by KDE. This update

patches KDE so that all files within $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart are auto-executed as expected.

• kdelibs would not build when dns_sd was enabled. This issue was fixed by

changing the variable *txtRecord from const char to const unsigned char and
testing for (DNSServiceResolveReply)resolve_callback instead of
resolve_callback.

Users of kdelibs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
