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?

  1. Another VMware problem
]]> 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.
