Papercuts

[Pranav Sharma]

1)  This ended up being a non issue. I poked around a bit more, and it
seems to actually be a bug in firefox, not in ktorrent packaging. xdg-mime
query properly returns ktorrent, and a quick google search shows that
multiple users on multiple distros have this problem with firefox.

2) I think the redshift applet should be part of the default install since,
afiak, kubuntu 18.04 will still use xorg by default. Currently nightlight
doesn't support xorg, so including the applet could be a nice touch as a
sort of replacement for nightlight. From the projects old github repo: "*PLEASE
BE ADVISED, this project is being moved under KDE umbrella
(https://phabricator.kde.org/source/plasma-redshift-control/
<https://phabricator.kde.org/source/plasma-redshift-control/>).*" I have no
idea if that means the applet is considered KDE software.

3) I believe that was added as an option in sddm 0.17.0 (
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/releases/tag/v0.17.0), "Set default input
method to qtvirtualkeyboard"

4) I will try to file an appropriate bug report, maybe someone could point
me in the right direction? Here is an image of what I am experiencing on a
fresh install of 17.10 (to replicate, right cick sound applet and select
audio volume settings): https://imgur.com/a/UnrKI
I have not experienced this on other distros, like KDE neon.

5) https://i.stack.imgur.com/RSlrO.jpg, is the current boot animation. It
looks old, and out of place, maybe it can be updated to resemble the plasma
splash animation, which looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/V7cUa ?

6) Has been resolved.
