Beta 2 on KDE (Kubuntu)

Subject: Beta 2 on KDE (Kubuntu)

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Linux client - Ubuntu

Release: Beta 2

Reproducible: Always

I have beta 2 installed on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 (KDE 4.1.1).

Installation was fine (unlike beta 1, which wouldn't install at all); and it runs quite well.

The two main problem I have are:

1) Fonts - In dialog boxes (eg. preferences), the font used is a serif font which appears too large, eg. In File --> Preferences --> Basic Notes Client Configuration, the text "Default Fonts" button is longer than the button itself. This is particulary a problem with checkboxes, as it's impossible to see if the box is checked or not because the box is obscured by the text.

I should point out that I have the "gtk-qt-engine-kde4 package" installed from the Ubuntu repository, which styles GTK applications with a KDE look & feel. If I turn this off, I get the default Gnome appearance and it looks OK. Is there going to be support for the KDE (Qt) desktop? Alternatively, are there any particular fonts I can install that will make it look better on KDE?

2) Can't view/open any attachments. Even with something as simple as an attached .gif file, if I right-click and select View I get the "There is no viewer filter available for this file. Would you like to try to open the file?" message. If I click Yes, nothing happens.

Same if I select either Open or Open With... nothing happens. This happens with all types of attachments, even though these file/mime types have registered handlers on my machine.
