I like this feature

It’s in the newly released KDE SC 4.4*. We can now “group” windows into one tabbed interface.

* It seems they have recently decided their product has grown from a “desktop environment” to a “software compilation”… It also seems they have decided that “KDE,” previously standing for “K Desktop Environment,” is now a name in its own right?

Arrow keys not working in VMware

Arrow keys (and also Ctrl, Win, etc.) don’t work in VMware if running in KDE. This should be an upstream bug.

Workaround: Add this line to ~/.vmware/config (create it if necessary) and restart VMware:

xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true

VMware will display a warning about keyboard layout. Simply ignore it.
