Any chance of KDE 4.7.1 making into 12.1?

Yep, seems a (Fenno)Scandinavian problem – I am in Finland and my bank (Sampo, which is Danish actually) does not offer Java-less ebanking; and I lost enough neurons trying to make OpenJDK show even the login applet :( so I am sticking with Oracle Java, no matter under what license, I simply have no choice until OpenJDK improves …

It’s a secure authentication solution common to many banks in Norway that requires Java. Most online banks I have tried let you choose between this authentication solution and others, but there are probably also some that don’t.

Lucky you!!! I also can not use OpenJDK for banking, and it’s the bank that forces Java applets for the web banking, I have no say in the matter :( I hope at least there will be Oracle Java in the Non-OSS repo

I just want to use this opportunity and express my thanks to Johannes Obermayer for providing us with the Nouveau driver packages and for keeping the repository up-to-date. He is doing a great job.

If you need Java just to access your bank or vote online there’s something seriously wrong with making services accessible. I do online banking with two banks as well, and none require Java and work with all the major browsers (i.e. not Midori, Arora, Rekonq, but with FF, Chromium, Opera).

Does your extra work mean that openSUSE doesn’t intend to use green for selecting items and progress bars by default anymore? I hope not. In my opinion the green colors is what made openSUSE Gnome attractive up to now.
