Using 'skim' for input in KDE

I have a long history suffering from inputing Chinese in KDE, where scim does not work well, especially when used with Qt applications. Certain applications like KWord will refuse Chinese when using SCIM.

After some search it seems that ‘skim’ which is scim Qt’ifyed version, would support them well. Moreover, this version seems to have better UI than its GTK counterpart. The port (textproc/skim) is now unmaintained, maybe someone will pick it up? I’ll consider picking it up if there is nobody taking care for it.

Qt 4 将提供 GPLv3 授权选项

在 Google campus 举行的 KDE 4 Release Event 上，Trolltech宣布将提供 GPLv3 授权选项。许多国内媒体将这一变动称为"以GPLv3授权发布"，很明显这与事实是存在差距的。

转投 KDE 了！

犹豫了很久，实在是禁不起诱惑……从今天起改用 KDE 了，感觉这个桌面平台比 GNOME 更理性一些。

在 FreeBSD 上安装 KDE 非常简单：portinstall kde。然后配一下.xinitrc让它启动就可以了。
