23. Fedora 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 install @kde-desktop'
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
