much simpler and easier to maintain, also it will be proper D-Bus service now with no sockets, process title hack and whatnot. KCrash and startkde script (in kde-workspace repo) have to be adjusted for it tho note that the internal KIO scheduler already has the functionality to put slaves on hold but now they will be started as detached process. eventually they may become plugins (they are loaded as such by kioslave program) without event loop dispatcher fixes application startup notification (ASN) and cleanup issues Signed-off-by: Ivailo Monev <xakepa10@gmail.com> |

Welcome to this readme about KDED. KDED stands for KDE Daemon which isn't very descriptive. KDED runs in the background and performs a number of small tasks. Some of these tasks are built in, others are started on demand. Built in tasks ============== *) Checking for newly installed software and updating ksycoca when new software is detected. Updating of ksycoca is done by the program kbuildsycoca which gets started by kded. When kded is first started it always runs kbuildsycoca to ensure that ksycoca is up to date. *) Checking for hostname changes. It is a really bad idea to change the hostname of a running system and it usually only happens with incorrectly configured dial-up connections. Never the less, kded will check for hostname changes and if it detects one it will make the necassery changes to the KDE environemnt and X-server to allow continued proper operation. The program kdontchangethehostname is executed to make the actual changes. Configuration of built in tasks. ================================ The built in tasks have some configuration options that can be changed by editing the kdedrc configuration file. Changes need to be made with a text- editor, there is no GUI available. All options are listed under the [General] group: HostnamePollInterval: This can be used to adjust the time interval at which the hostname is checked for changes. The time is specified in milliseconds and has a default of 5000 (5 seconds). CheckSycoca: This option can be used to disable checking for new software. ksycoca will still be built when kded starts up and when applications explicitly request a rebuild of the ksycoca database. The user can also manually rebuild ksycoca by running the kbuildsycoca program. The default value of this option is "true". Checking can be disabled by setting this option to "false". CheckHostname: This option can be used to disable checking for hostname changes. The default value of this option is "true". Checking can be disabled by setting this option to "false". Example kdedrc file with default values: [General] HostnamePollInterval=5000 CheckSycoca=true CheckHostname=true CheckFileStamps=true The filesystem will be polled at regular interval for any changes. KDED modules ============ Some things can be greatly simplified if they can be coordinated from a central place. KDED has support for modules that will be demand-loaded whenever an application attempts to make DBus call to the module. This can be useful for central administration tasks. See kdelibs/kded/HOWTO.
