S.u.S.E. Chameleon in KDE packages

Request:

You've taken some KDE-1.0 packages from the S.u.S.E. ftp server or from a computer magazine's CD and you don't like the chameleon pixmap which is placed on the top left corner of the windows.

Procedure:

You may replace the chameleon by another pixmap or switch it off completely. This can be done by changing the variable KWM_GIMMICK_PIXMAP in the file /etc/rc.config to the corresponding value.

  1. No gimmick pixmap at all:
    KWM_GIMMICK_PIXMAP=""
    

  2. Other gimmick pixmap:
    KWM_GIMMICK_PIXMAP="mypixmap.xpm"
    
    Please specify the name of the desired pixmap (without path!). The pixmap must be located in a directory contained in the KDE icon path, e.g. ~/.kde/share/icons.

  3. S.u.S.E. chameleon:
    KWM_GIMMICK_PIXMAP="chamelia.xpm"
    

After changing that variable please call SuSEconfig and restart KDE in order for these changes to become operative.

This mechanism also exists in the S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 KDE-packages, but is not enabled by default.
