It seems KDE4 has no Mac-Style menubars and when you upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1 within the same config folder (say you use the kubuntu distribution upgrade installer like I did) you end up with no menubars at all.

To solve this little issue find a variable "macStyle = true" in the /home/username/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals file and switch it to macStyle = false and you have your menubars back.

I am writing PHP / Web Applications for about 8 years now, but I am not so much the pro in writing desktop applications. I know little or no C/C++/Java, but want to change that soon. Since I use KDE for both my desktop and laptop it seems reasonable to write a KDE 4 application.

What about idaes? I wanted to write a game for so long and in the last years my girlfriend and I tried lots of 2 person player games. One of them I wanted to re-create as a computer game.

The possibilites are:

• The Game of the Amazons
• Moruba - Oware or a variant.

All 3 games are time intensive and very strategic. Moruba can be played for lots of hours (My gf and I played one game for about 5-6 hours). Its propably more easy to write algorithms for the computer player of Oware or Moruba than for Amazons, but that should not affect my decision. I will decide in the next weeks, but I should propably concentrate on my semesters final exams in the first place.

Update: Moruba seems to have different rules than the game we are playing. I will elaborate on that soon.
