+
+KDE and media kioslave support
+==============================
+
+The media kioslave, new in KDE 3.4, supports the automatic mounting of
+removable devices, such as CD-ROM and DVD drives, USB pen drives, digital
+cameras, and many other types of equipment.
+
+While some functionality is available without the use of HAL, media works
+best with HAL (and therefore udev), in combination with pmount. Media
+also extends the functionality of many other kioslaves. Check which
+packages are recommended by the kdebase-kio-plugins package, and install
+accordingly.
+
+Note that for regular users to use media in conjunction with HAL, they must
+be members of the plugdev group (permanently, not through
+/etc/security/group.conf).
+
+
+KControl and Logitech mice
+==========================
+
+In combination with the udev packages, KControl supports the
+advanced configuration of many models of Logitech mice, though regular users
+must be members of the plugdev group for this to work.
+
+After installing KControl for the first time, or updating to KControl 3.4.x
+or later from an earlier package, you will need to unplug and then replug
+your mouse, in order to force udev to grant special permissions
+to your mouse, so that KControl can perform advanced configuration.
+Rebooting or restarting udev will of course accomplish the same
+thing.
+
+
+Installing konsole's bitmap fonts
+=================================
+
+Formerly, the few bitmap fonts KDE included, designed for use with Konsole,
+were shipped as part of the xfonts-konsole package. However, as Konsole no
+longer uses these fonts by default, and most users no longer use bitmap
+fonts at all, KDE now includes these fonts with Konsole itself, and Debian
+has followed this practice, including the fonts in the konsole package, and
+eliminating the xfonts-konsole package entirely.
+
+To make use of these legacy fonts, start Konsole, and under Settings --> Font
+select "Install Bitmap...". This will allow you to copy the legacy Konsole
+fonts to $HOME/.fonts, where, after restarting KDE, all applications run by
+that user, including Konsole, will be able to find them. Also make sure that
+fontconfig is configured to allow the use of bitmap fonts. If you're not sure,
+run, as root, 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' from Konsole.
