I've just updated my netbook with kde-testing enabled, and see some rather odd and interesting changes.
KMail - like the previous version (1.11 now, was 1.10.3, IIRC) attempting to enter a folder with 6000 encrypted emails causes kontact to crash.
Addressbookn (4.1) - when accessed from kontact there is no Crypto tab on the edit page. Running KAddressbook from krunner, the Crypto tab is present.
Calendar - I use a remote calendar, on a CentOS server. I was able to add it, but I presume that I will get no benefit from the Akonadi backend by doing this?
Can someone please remind me where I can turn off the icon on calendar entries? I need the space.

I fixed this the other day. So will be fixed in 4.2.0

I think the mean the reminder daemon icon.. turn it off by going into the Calendar settings, General page. you'll see a System Tray tab there. Then de-select the "Show Reminder Daemon in the System Tray".

Thanks for that.

No, sorry. I didn't describe that well enough. It's the icon on the events in korganizer. I have turned it off on this laptop, so that I can read at least part of the event name, but I can't remember how to do that. My default view is Month, so there isn't much space. Currently I see an icon and just one letter of the event title (this is on the netbook).
Similarly, I turned off text below the icons for kontact on this laptop, but can't remember where that happens, either.
Once I've found those I'll write them up on UserBase. I think maybe we are going to need a section on reclaiming space for small screens, such as netbooks.

Anne,
Under the Views configuration, you'll find tabs for the various calendar views. You can turn-off icons in monthview. But for some reason we never implemented turn-off icons in agendaview. I put this on my todo list for 4.3.
In general, you are correct that we need to redesign a lot of dialogs and other stuff for the small form-factor devices.

I've been through those configuration tabs three times and missed that every time. How stupid can you get? :-)

Sure, but UserBase can help in the meantime by making public what is already available to us. If you have other ideas of currently available tricks that will help, please send them to me. I'll get something started on this topic this week.
BTW, while you are thinking on those lines, it's quite hard to get the panel with calendar and resource definitions to go fairly small - it seems to say 'so far and no further, or I'll close altogether'. This is is almost-full- screen size (so I can pick up on problems showing in gkrellm). The section panel and this resource panel take up approximately half of the space. The problem appears to be that the character size for the resource panel cannot be forced to a smaller size. If you want a screenshot I'll happily send it to you.
