]> &glossary-tdeprinting; IO Slave IO Slaves enable &tde; applications to access remote resources as easily as local resources (making them network transparent). Remote resources (⪚ files) might be stored on SMB shares or similar. SMB &tde; TDEIO The &tde; Input/Output system which makes use of so-called IO Slaves. IO Slave &tde; KParts KParts is an embedding technology which allows &tde; applications to embed other &tde; applications. For example, the text view used by &konqueror; is a KPart. &konqueror; KSycoca KSycoca (&tde; System Configuration Cache) is a configuration cache which, for example, guarantees fast access to the menu entries. KBuildSycoca Antialiasing If mentioned in context with &tde;, antialiasing often means the smoothing of the fonts visible on the screen. &Qt; version 2.3.0 or higher used together with XFree86 4.x makes this possible under &tde; as well. &tde; &Qt; &X-Server; The &X-Server; represents a basic layer upon which the various &GUI;s like &tde; are built. It manages the basic mouse and keyboard input (from the local host as well as from remote hosts) and provides elementary graphic routines to draw rectangles and other primitives. &tde; &GUI; KBuildSycoca KBuildSycoca is a command line program and regenerates the so-called KSycoca. This is useful, for example, if some or all modules in &kcontrol; are missing. KSycoca &kcontrol; &kcontrol; This is the project and filename of the &tde; control center. &kcontrol; allows you to customize virtually every configuration option of &tde;. &tde; &kicker; &kicker; is the nickname as well as project name of the &tde; panel. &tde; Panel &konqueror; &konqueror; is a filemanager, web browser, picture viewer and more, and a core part of the &tde; project. You can find more information about &konqueror; at www.konqueror.org. &tde; &ksirc; &ksirc; is the default IRC client, which is shipped with &tde;. You can use &ksirc; to chat with anyone on an IRC network. IRC Drag and Drop This concept tries to replace many actions like copying files from one place to another by a certain mouse movement, ⪚ clicking on an icon in a &konqueror; window, moving the mouse to another window while keeping the mouse button pressed, and releasing the mouse button (dropping the object) copies files. &konqueror; &GUI; Abbreviation for Graphical User Interface. Every desktop environment (like &tde;) is a &GUI;. Most &GUI;s feature mouse support and/or windows to manage the programs. &tde; &tde; Abbreviation for Trinity Desktop Environment, a leading &GUI; for &UNIX;-based systems. You can find more detailled information at www.kde.org. &GUI; GNOME GNU Network Object Model Environment, one of the leading &UNIX; &GUI;s. &GUI; Panel Refers to the panel (also known as &kicker;) which often resides at the bottom of the screen. &tde; &kicker; ripping The process of reading audio data from a &cdrom; and storing it on the hard disk. &Qt; The &GUI; of &tde; is built on top of the &Qt; toolkit, which provides many graphical elements (so-called Widgets) which are used to construct the desktop. You can find more information about &Qt; at www.trolltech.com. &tde; &GUI; Widget i18n Abbreviation for internationalization. &tde; supports many different languages, and several i18n techniques make it easy to translate the &GUI; as well as the accompanying documents of &tde; into all these languages. More information about the i18n process is available at i18n.kde.org. &tde; &GUI; l10n Abbreviation for localization, the process of adapting a program to the local environment. This includes ⪚ the currency used for monetary values or the time format. i18n Widget Graphical elements like scrollbars, buttons or input fields which are used by &tde; to construct the &GUI;. &tde; &GUI; CVS Concurrent Version System. The CVS is a very elegant way of managing file versions that allow more than one developer to easily work on the same project. You can find a description of how to get the latest (developer) version of the &tde; sources via anonymous CVS on http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html. More about CVS is available at www.cvshome.org. RFC Request For Comment. A common way to publish new protocol ideas or procedures for evaluation of the Internet community. Though RFCs are not mandatory, many applications try to adhere to them, once they have been approved by the community. More information about RFCs can be found at the RFC Homepage. SMB Server Message Block. A network protocol used in &Microsoft; &Windows; networks to access the filesystems of other computers. IO Slave IRC Internet Relay Chat. A protocol defined in RFC 1459, which handles the specification to enable real time text chat. RFC host This can either be a name from your /etc/hosts file (mycomputer), an Internet name (www.kde.org) or an IP-Address (192.168.0.10).
