Okular does not exit full screen mode

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508634

Description : Once the fullscreen mode is turned on in Okular it refuses to go back and hides even the menubar. Even pressing ctrl+shift+f does not help. Closing Okular and opening another file does not help. It stays in that fullscreen mode.

Workaround : I am posting the workaround here. Unfortunately you have to manually edit the okularrc file each time you go fullscreen.

Goto the folder $HOME/.kde/share/config (or a similar folder for kde4- .kde4/share/config/).
Open okularrc in gedit.

It would show something like -

[Desktop Entry]
FullScreen=true

[MainWindow]
Height 900=901
MenuBar=Disabled
State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAABaAAAAOEAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAEAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgAAAAAAAAAFoAAAAAAAAAAA
Width 1440=1441

[MainWindow][Toolbar mainToolBar]
Hidden=true

[Notification Messages]
presentationInfo=false


Enable the menubar : MenuBar=Enabled.
Disable fullscreen : FullScreen=false

Fire up Okular again. Now see the okularrc file again. It should read like following.

[Desktop Entry]
FullScreen=false

[MainWindow]
Height 900=901
State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAABaAAAAL9AAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAEAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgEAAAAAAAAFoAAAAAAAAAAA
Width 1440=1441

[Notification Messages]
presentationInfo=false




Menubar re-appears again and no more fullscreen.

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

By
People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last...

Changing the font size of section headings in LaTex

By
You have several ways to do so: 1.- A direct redefinition of \section: \makeatletter \renewcommand\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}%                                   {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%                                   {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%                                   {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother 2.- By means of the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} 3.- By means of the sectsty package: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\large} source : http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3245   Now, I would explain the titlesec package a bit more (because it seems easier to me and...
