QGtkStyle Now Part of Qt
Looks like KDE apps just got a whole lot more appealing to Gnome users. I like a lot of KDE apps (Kate being a particularly cool editor when I’m on the Linux box), but I just never used to use them much as they looked too out of place with the rest of my Gnome desktop (yeah, I guess I’m a GUI snob…) - this will most likely change that!
QGtkStyle made it’s way into the Qt snapshots this week, meaning it will become part of the Qt 4.5 release. Technical users can already compile and use it on their own desktop, but once Qt 4.5 is out it will simply replace Cleanlooks as the default application style Qt uses on GNOME desktops.

Mount ISO Files With Nautilus
Here’s two short bash scripts that allow you to mount and unmount an ISO image easily within the right-click menu in Nautilus (the file manager in Gnome):
$ sudo mkdir /media/ISO
$ cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
$ gedit "Mount ISO Image"
Now paste this code into the file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | #!/bin/bash # for I in `echo $*` do foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"` sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 $I /media/ISO done done exit0 |
Save, and exit gedit.
$ gedit "Unmount ISO Image"
Then paste this code in this file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | #!/bin/bash # for I in `echo $*` do foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"` sudo umount $I done done exit0 |
Save, and exit gedit. Now finally…
$ chmod a+x *
Now you can mount and unmount ISO files by using the ‘Scripts’ options in the right-click menu. 
Thanks to the Ubuntu Blog for the information.
