wtf?

Saturday, 3 June 2006  |  Cristian Tibirna

Seele found that KDE got caught on thedailywtf. Thanks to this, I learned that there exists something called "kflickr". The other KDE mention there seems to involve kdeprint.

Well, I grepped for those rather tongue-in-cheek error messages in the kdeprint code but I couldn't find any trace. And the icon is all wrong. I guess it rather has to be some automatically passed-up message coming from CUPS or maybe a bad interaction between the KDEPrint system and the usage of some distro's weirdly configured printing system.

Anyways, if somebody manages to find the (or a similar) fault in KDEPrint, please write to me or to kdeprint mailinglist or onto b.k.o.

(Edit:) Yes, printing jobs not receiving a name from their creating application are named "KDE Print System" but this doesn't mean the message box is generated by a KDE application.
