RHBA-2012:1251 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated kdelibs packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The kdelibs packages provide libraries for the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the KDE Print dialog did not remember previous settings,

nor did it allow the user to save the settings. Consequent to this, when
printing several documents, users were forced to manually change settings for
each printed document. With this update, the KDE Print dialog retains previous
settings as expected. (BZ#587016)

• When the system was configured to use the Traditional Chinese language (the

zh_TW locale), Konqueror incorrectly used a Chinese (zh_CN) version of its
splash page. This update ensures that Konqueror uses the correct locale.
(BZ#682611)

• Previously, clicking the system tray to display hidden icons could cause the

Plasma Workspaces to consume an excessive amount of CPU time. This update
applies a patch that fixes this error. (BZ#734734)

• When using Konqueror to recursively copy files and directories, if one of the

subdirectories was not accessible, no warning or error message was reported to
the user. This update ensures that Konqueror displays a proper warning message
in this scenario. (BZ#754161)

• Prior to this update, an attempt to add "Terminal Emulator" to the Main

Toolbar caused Konqueror to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault.
With this update, the underlying source code has been corrected to prevent this
error so that users can now use this functionality as expected. (BZ#826114)

All users of kdelibs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
