Congratulations TDE devs and thank you very very much.

Doing my usual daily update/upgrade, I just now encountered this:
The following packages have been kept back:
kubuntu-default-settings-trinity
I presume it's some kind of metapackage and that it has no effect on the
functioning of my system. It's the first error of this sort that I've seen
in years, though, so I thought I'd pass it along. Am running R14.0.11.

Greets, everybody . . .
I've got a book coming on, and one of the rituals attendant to that is
searching for an outliner/organizational application into which I can dump
notes and such by chapter and conduct some of the other housekeeping
involved. So I've gone through the bespoke applications that supposedly
perform these functions and have learned that as with the last book a
couple of years ago they all suck. I don't think that anyone involved with
any of them has ever written anything for publication -- they've certainly
not written anything resembling instructions for use of their
applications.
One of these applications, a thing called "Joplin," is an appimage. I'd
encountered one of these before; Geeqie releases some versions in that
form, which I tried. I like Geeqie, but I don't much like appimages,
though I'm not sure I can tell you why. So I thought I'd ask here what
people think of appimages, both the idea of them and the way they're made
and used in practice, in case there's a difference.
My vague distaste for them runs counter to reservations I had when moving
to Linux from OS/2 and similar DOS-centric operating systems. My complaint
then was that with DOS, Windows (at the time a DOS desktop) and OS/2 put a
particular application's files all in one directory, Word in \word, Lotus
in \lotus, and so on, so banishing an application involved nuking a
directory and that was that. (I still think that more things ought to be
in their own directories under /opt, and am glad that TDE does this; that
prejudice came about when we were building KDE from source a time or two a
week and having the whole thing blow up was not unheard of; deleting the
failed build and renaming the existing, working version reduced the risk.)
Sorry for the digression. Having not given appimages a lot of thought but
seeing that they're becoming more common, just thought I'd ask if there
are any strong reasons for or against them.
Are appimages a good idea for anything beyond test-drive purposes?

When viewing a received message, in the menu bar entry is the Edit Message option, which
allows one to modify the mail item's text. Because almost all HTML email uses Sans-Serif
fonts (an anethema to me) and Kmail provides no way to override this, I thought that I
might be able to use Edit Message to change the imbedded font-family to something more
friendly. I can do that, and the result is saved in my Drafts folder, but when I open it
I see just the raw HTML; Kmail doesn't seem to want to format it as it did the original.
Does anyone know how to make Kmail display such a modified message properly?

I see on the X.org announcements list <xorg-announce(a)lists.x.org> that "X server [21.1.0]
now correctly reports display DPI in more cases. This may affect rendering of client
applications that have their own workarounds for hi-DPI screens."

Once again, missing application/octet-stream has revisited me. Where does TDE store this
information, and is there a way to lock that particular entry so that it doesn't
disappear now and again?
There must be a bug somewhere in TDE's mime handling routines that causes it to delete
this entry when one is adding other entries to the table, but I haven't a clue as to
which component a bug report should be opened...

Greets, everybody . . .
I'm pretty sure that this is a bug, one that has survived a decade or more.
If you open the game "Shisen-sho" and click to call the "Game" menu, the
resulting menu is *enormous.* It works, but it is *enormous*.
Per the attached.

I'd like to report a bug in the package shown below.
I've been browsing and searching all over gitea and cgit
and I confess I am clueless.
How exactly am I supposed to find the right place to
report this bug?
