hi all,

I have been playing around with Easy Debian for 2 weeks now. I have managed to install several programs and run them through LXDE and the "debbie <packagename>" command in x-terminal. These programs include freemind, gnochm, xchm, kchmviewer, fbreader, fotoxx, fotowall, fontyphyton, hugin okular, and phatch.

As you can see above i have installed so many chm viewer programs because i really need them to open my .chm ebooks. Fbreader is great but it cannot handle big files very well (i also have tried FBReader from Fremantle extras-devel). xchm and gnochm load fast but unfortunately they do not support unicode. This means that some characters will appear as squares with numbers no matter what font face I choose. kchmviewer, even though it loads slower than xchm, enable me to change the encoding for any .chm documents. This fixes my problem with squares and numbers.

The keyboard is functional for all these programs if i run them in LXDE. For kchmviewer and okular, the keyboard does not work if i run them using "debbie <packagename>" in x-terminal. May be because they are native KDE applications that causes a problem with the keyboard functionality. I don't know. I really hope I can use the keyboard eventhough running these 'native KDE' applications using "debbie <packagename>".
