[Lxde-list] Update for LXDE-Qt - Current Status

[PCMan <pcm...@gm...>]

Hello,
I'm glad to announce that there're something new to test.
The new Qt-based image viewer, LxImage-Qt is almost ready for daily use.
It's fast and easy to use, with a clean and simple UI.

Besides, I just added a new package "lxde-common-qt" in our git repo.
This one, of coruse, is a set of default configuration files for the
new LXDE-Qt flavor of DE.
After installation of this package, you can select "LXDE-Qt" from your
display manager or using startlxde-qt command to launch Qt flavor of
LXDE.
Well, currently it replaces lxpanel gtk+ version with Razor panel.
The file manager is replaced with PCManFM-Qt.
Lxsession from the original LXDE is still used.
The result is quite satisfactory and it DOES NOT use significantly
more resources than the original gtk+ LXDE. Please try it.

Another good news is, I just finished a C++ class Xdg::DesktopSettings
in the source code of Lximage-Qt.
This is a little module detecting current desktop environment and read
configuration from different places accordingly.
In LXDE, Gnome, and XFCE, it reads icon theme name from XSettings.
In Razor-qt, it reads razor.conf config file and monitor its changes.
In the future I'll add this to PCManFM-Qt as well, so these LXDE-Qt
applications can integrate better with Razor-Qt. KDE support is not
yet added since I've no idea how to do it.

See the code here.

I believed that it's as useful for our friends from Razor or other
independent projects. If we can add this support to every independent
Qt program, we can make them blend better with existing DEs.

Cheers!
