Introduction
------------
KGtk is a quick-n-dirty *HACK* to allow *some* Gtk2, and Gtk3, applications
to use KDE Frameworks 5 file dialogs.
KGtk is composed of the following pieces:
1. An application called kdialogd5. This is the KDE app that will show the
file selector.
2. LD_PRELOAD libraries that are used to override the Gtk2 and Gtk3 file
dialogs.
If you start an application using the following command:
kgtk-wrapper gimp
...the the following occurs:
1. kgtk-wrapper determines whether the application is a Gtk2 or Gtk3
application. It then sets the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to point to
the approriate KGtk library.
2. When 'gimp' now tries to open a file dialog, the KGtk library
intercepts this, and asks kdialogd to open a file dialog instead.
There will only ever be one instance of kdialogd, and all apps communicate with
the same instance - and it termiantes itself 30 seconds after the last app has
disconnected. This timeout can be changed by editing kdialogdrc and
setting/changing
[General]
Timeout=10
Installation
------------
As of v0.9.1, kgtk uses CMake in place of autotools.
This is accomplished as follows:
1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
4. make
5. sudo make install
* For 64 bit systems, also append -DLIB_SUFFIX=64
