Features
KHostChooser offers some features that are not supported by the
standard KDE2 chooser. All these features are optional and can be
disabled by the system administrator if he does not like them.
The following features are supported:
- Specifying an arbitary hostname. An optional line-edit
widget allows you to enter a host to connect to instead of
selecting one from the host list. This can be useful when you want
to connect to a host that is not listed in the host list.
- Using a command button. An additional button allows you not only
to connect to a remote machine using XDMCP, but to do other useful
stuff. -- The sysadmin can configure this button to provide a Telnet
functionality to the selected host. This feature is useful if you
have messed up your personal X11 startup files.
- Configrable Logo Display. You can choose an arbitrary logo
to be displayed in the upper left corner of the chooser if you
want to. You can even get an analog clock instead of the
logo. (Thanks to Andreas Faisst for porting kdm's clock to
KHostChooser.)
- Configurable static message text. To prevent your users
from turning off the terminal when they leave...
If you want to know what KHostChooser looks like with all the features
enabled, just have a look at the screenshots page.
