RHBA-2012:1371 - kdebase bug fix update

Synopsis

kdebase bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated kdebase packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The K Desktop Environment (KDE) is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. The kdebase packages include core applications for KDE.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the Konsole context menu item "Show menu bar" was always checked in new windows even if this menu item was disabled before. This update modifies the underlying code to handle the menu item "Show menu bar" as expected. (BZ#608007)

  • Prior to this update, users could not define a default size for xterm windows when using the Konsole terminal in KDE. This update modifies the underlying code and adds the functionality to define a default size. (BZ#729307)

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

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
