= Agenda =

- Waves desktop background 
- New xine-lib PA plugin (#439731) [1]
- State of konq-plugins (#438126)
- kdemultimedia3 pkg  (#439701)

= Summary =

o Waves desktop background: 
- Bug #439811 asks for also including the svgs in desktop-backgrounds to be 
able to use these instead of the pngs. 

o New xine-lib PA plugin: 
- KDE currently uses the alsa output device through phonon to workaround the 
not-working PA plugin for xine. 
- Since the native PulseAudio plugin for xine-lib is working again we'll test 
it when xine-lib is patched. 
- Contingency plan: stay with the current ALSA solution. 
- Test plan: Wait for xine-lib to include the PulseAudio plugin and test it 
with amarok or other xine apps. 

o kdemultimedia3 pkg review: 
- A kdemultimedia3 compat package would contain libarts_* for arts support in 
KDE3 applications. 
- Packages that still use arts: k3b, koffice-kpresenter, basket, taxipilot, 
kbilliards, allegro, gg2, kadu, xeuphoric, gnubg 
- If possible, the packages should disable arts support (eg. if it's only used 
for playing hardcoded sounds). 
- The package will be pulled from review for now. 

o state of konq-plugins: 
- All plugins in konq-plugins should be tested for functionality. 
- Not working plugins will be disabled. 
- The akregator plugin will need kdepim to work properly but Sebastian Vahl 
wants to avoid a hard dependency on kdepim. 
- Proper solutions would be: 
 * Create a sub package just for one plugin and let this package require 
kdepim. 
 * Omit akgreator from konq-addons. 
don't require kdepim at all (like kdeaddons does) 
 * add a short explanation to %description 
- The decision was to use the latter. 

o Open discussion: 
- KDM theme circles: 
 * Default KDM theme does not really fit between RHGB and Ksplash/Desktop 
background. 
 * Because there likely will be no GDM theme to adopt, one solution could be 
to use a non-themed KDM with "waves" as background wallpaper.
