I have another non-technical observation... My
gtkrc file contains two
lines with the word class in them. Since I associate the word class
with Java, I thought I would see what would happen if I deleted them
from a copy of the gtkrc file. Surprise! Konqueror recognizes them as
plain text! Even more interesting, is that if I delete only ONE line
with the word class in it, it still works! Not only that, but it doesn't
matter which of the two lines I delete!
Next, I thought I would add the word class to a file which Konqueror
identified as plain text. If I added the word class to kpatrc twice
Konqueror identified it as a Java file.
I wonder if Konqueror for Trinity could be made to use libmagic for its
file type detection ?
There are a number of places where KDE "does its own thing" although
standard and more modern libraries have come along since KDE was
developed. SSL certificate management is another one, and one that
particularly concerns me in the light of the number of certificate
revocations lately.
If a modern, widely-available and maintained library does a better job
than an old (small) internal library in TDE, a bug report should be filed
as a feature request to use the new library.
Note that these bug reports may take a long time to resolve, depending on
the size of the library to be replaced.
