22. KDE
* KDE Installation
KDE4 is another Desktop Environment based on plasma. If you haven't installed KDE during the Fedora installation process you can easily install it through yum like this:su -c 'yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"'
When the installation completes log out, click on your username and from the session manager at the bottom choose KDE. Enter your password and Log In.
* KDE style in gtk applications
Some gtk applications don't look good in KDE. To force those applications use the qt style install qtk-qt-engine.su -c 'yum install gtk-qt-engine'
Log out and then log back in and go to System Settings -> Appearance -> GTK Styles and Fonts and select to use your KDE style in GTK Applications.
* KDE Country Flags
If you have a multilanguage system and you want your country's flag to
appear in the tray when you change from one language to the other
download kblflags from www.kde-look.org and copy the flag you want as stated below (here I have installed the Greek and U.S.A. flag).
$ tar -xzf kbflags-1.0.tar.gz
$ sudo cp kbflags-1.0/21x14/gr.jpg /usr/share/locale/l10n/gr/flag.jpg
$ sudo cp kbflags-1.0/21x14/us.jpg /usr/share/locale/l10n/us/flag.jpg
Log out and then log back in and you should the flag in the tray. Of course you must have it enabled from System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout -> Show country flag
