University of Toronto ☛ My unusual X desktop wasn't made 'from scratch' in a conventional sense
There are people out there who set up unusual (Unix) environments for themselves from scratch; for example, Mike Hoye recently wrote Idiosyncra. While I have an unusual desktop, I haven't built it from scratch in quite the same way that Mike Hoye and other people have; instead I've wound up with my desktop through a rather easier process.

kdesrc-build with 3rd-party applications
I use several non-KDE Qt-based applications which I tend to compile manually from source to use the same non-distro-provided Qt version that I compile KDE software against.
I’ve noticed that I don’t update them as often as the rest of the system, so I decided to see if I can add them to
kdesrc-build.

Barry Kauler ☛ Orange-ball menu entries install bug
Alfons reported this. The Network menu category has an "orange-ball" menu entry for AnyDesk. He installed AnyDesk, and the menu entry changed accordingly, with the icon for the app. OK, except after reboot the menu entry had disappeared. This happens to all the orange-ball menu entries.
