Does KDE 4.x splash have a documentation?

I found a documentation about how to make a KDM theme on docs.kde.org.
However, I couldn't find one for KDE splash.

Where can I find one?

The by-point replies below probably aren't what you wanted to read, but 
they're how I deal with it.  Other than simply pointing them out as 
options, I'm mainly just acknowledging your post, so it doesn't go 
entirely unreplied if someone else doesn't reply with solutions hopefully 
closer to your present setup.

FWIW, after trying akonadified kmail, I decided the kmail devs were 
taking it, and by extension all of kdepim in a direction opposite the one 
I was headed.  I don't believe the akonadified/database-backed version 
will be as stable as old kmail was, at least for me, for several 
releases, say 4.10 or so, and I considered email too vital to be causing 
me stability and dependability headaches for over a year.

So I switched to claws-mail, which was right for me.  The conversion 
process wasn't entirely without issue, but then again, neither was the 
upgrade to akonadified kmail.  Other people may be more comfortable with 
thunderbird or evolution, but they weren't right for me either, while 
claws-mail ended up being a better match for me than the pre-akonadified 
kmail was.

So choose what you like, including staying with kmail if you continue to 
be comfortable with it, but if you had thought about switching, now's 
probably the time to do it, because as I said, I don't expect kmail to be

modifying the task bar

This is a screenshot of my task bar: <http://i.imgur.com/H9s3n.png>

How do I get the coloured icons for klipper, kwallet, kmix etc. back?
How do I get rid of the crud under the clock/calendar area?

This is KDE 4.7.4 on OpenSUSE 12.1.

Re: modifying the task bar

Regarding the monochrome (mono-colour?) icons, they can't be changed unless you change your theme to a
theme that has these icons in colour.

Regarding the crud under the calendar, it looks like something is under your panel - if you move you panel
temporarily to the bottom or side of your screen you should be able to get access to whatever is behind it
right now. Then you can close or more whatever that is.

Download from somewhere 134914-oxygen-plasma-icons-1.tar.xz 

Copy the icons from 134914-oxygen-plasma-icons-1.tar.xz 
to ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/‹yourtheme›/icons

Cheers,

Ron.

As Seven suggests (in an upside down reply before quote or I'd have 
replied there) but doesn't outright say, those icons are kde system 
services icons and the distinctive mono-color theme helps distinguish 
them as such.  Full apps have their own icons and thus use whatever they 
always have, but the kde system services now use transparent/monochrome 
icons by default, thus distinguishing them /as/ kde system services.

He says try changing the theme, but I /think/ they're plasma text-color 
"drawn" on the semi-transparent (depending on plasma/desktop theme) 
background, so while changing the theme can change the color of the lines 
and the transparency and color of the background, I don't believe it's 
possible to go back to full-color even with a theme change, because 
they're basically text color on background and are treated as such.

(I say I /think/, because while I was skeptical of the idea when I first 
read about it on the kde blogs, I ended up liking the distinctiveness 
once I actually tried it, so haven't experimented too much with it, 
except as they've changed based on plasma/desktop theme color.)

Of course switching to a different DE (gnome, enlightenment, whatever) 
will get rid of them... but get rid of kde as well.

error 4 in libsoprano.so.4.3.0

Hi .

I am having a lot of reports of segfaults with nepomukservices

Feb 12 08:24:16 7-of-9 kernel: [233271.349534] nepomukservices[7638]: segfault 
at 100000000 ip 00007fa8ce06deef sp 00007fa8bca876b0 error 4 in 
libsoprano.so.4.3.0[7fa8ce029000+f9000]

I have line after line of these reports in the message log   and i see in a 
google search this is not new   kde 4.4  i am on KDE 4.8  .

Is this going to be fixed as it seems to cause problems at times  or is this 
getting classed as a not kde problem 

Pete .
