	* [FreeBSD] Splashscreen
	We have a nice replacement splash screen image with the beastie.
	Add patch to update the splash graphics (probably just need to
	patch an rc or .desktop file post-install) to use it.
	Also, figure out where to store and/or fetch the splash graphic
	itself.
	(2004-09-22 Frerich Raabe)
	I tried to push this a little forward, there's a patch to
	integrate the splashscreen as visible on
	http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12323, but
	apparently some people don't like the way I attempted to
	implement this. Check the thread at
	http://freebsd.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2004-September/009071.html
	for further information. From what I've gathered, most people would like
	a little KDE-FreeBSD fingerprint on the packages, but there are some
	technical issues with it. Or something - I don't really get why what
	we have now is not okay.

	* irkick
	If the lirc demon isn't running, irkick displays an error message
	and then remains in the system tray. It  should probably just exit.
	The message it gives when stopping isn't very intuitive either.

	* [FreeBSD] kdiskfree and Create New Devices on desktop
	We should maybe add a pkg-message to suggest adding devices to
	/etc/fstab if you want them to show up in kdiskfree or the new
	devices drop down menu.  On the other hand, you can add them
	directly into both places, so this might be worth talking over.

	* [FreeBSD] Lauri's issue of 2003-09-03 about kcm_nics is partly
	fixed: The config check is done properly now, but the code remains
	broken [still no nics showing up in kinfocenter/lanbrowsing.
	I believe brd is "on it", as a Janitor Job.

	[FreeBSD] kdenetwork should install some kind of start-script for
	Lisa and/or resLisa, so users can easily activate lanbrowsing.
	Unfortunately, the implementation of kcm_lanbrowsing is lacking
	in quite some ways - it can't detect NICs on FreeBSD, the configuration
	path is hardcoded. Lauri is currently busy with both unmessing the
	source AND writing proper rc-scripts.
	(2004-02-21 Lauri Watts)
	The Lisa part of this is done, however upstream is working on some extra
	handling in startkde to automatically handle extra scripted additions to it
	which is exactly what we need for rlisa.  As soon as that's done, we're in
	business.

2004-02-16 Michael Nottebrock

	Device icons keep being b0rked by default on FreeBSD - the automatic
	ones totally clash with FreeBSD's ideas of who is allowed to mount
	and who's not, and even the ones you can manually create often can't
	work without hand-editing the .desktop files afterwards, since you
	cannot specify the mountpoint in the GUI - it's parsed from /etc/fstab.

	Possibly solution: Do all the mounting with root priviliges utilizing
	kdesu, now that it works - this would require the source to become
	smart about which platforms need what priviliges to mount what sort
	of device.

	* Fix the -ldl in kpilot/conduits/configure.in.in

2004-04-03 Markus Brueffer

	[FreeBSD] PCI devices aren't shown in KInfoCenter even if KInfoCenter is 
	started as 'root'. While a fix to etablish the old behaviour is rather
	simple, the output will look ugly (just the output of scanpci) and will not 
	reveal all information about the devices (e.g. the devicenode isn't shown).
	I'll completely rewrite the PCI-detection code based on pciconf to show
	as much information about the devices as possible and to present them
	in a nice way.

2004-06-04 Markus Brueffer

	[FreeBSD] kcontrol/usbview and kcontrol/view1394 from kdebase need to be
	ported. Although this seems to be a simple task at the first glance, IMHO
	both need to be restructured to keep the code maintainable.

2004-06-04 Markus Brueffer

	[FreeBSD] The wifi-tools from kdenetwork need to be ported. The basic stuff
	can be accomplished through ieee80211(4). Advanced features (e.g.
	radio-strength) are driver-specific and need to addressed in a different
	way; look e.g. at the sources of wicontrol(8).

2004-06-10 Markus Brueffer

	[FreeBSD] klaptopdaemon from kdeutils lacks ACPI-support. Even if the user
	has proper permissions on /dev/apm, klaptopdaemon doesn't work, although the
	battery-status is available through the usual apm-stuff (struct apm_info).
