How to launch an application in KDE4 terminal and how to see recently installed apps?

Hi,

I installed emacs via terminal window in KDE, but I don't see it in the applications section of the desktop manager

1) how do I view new apps I installed?
2) how to launch a GUI app from terminal?


thanks.

In the case of Emacs, you can probably type either % emacs& or % [b]x[/b]emacs& in the terminal.

The rest is KDE-specific. I wouldn't know about that but we do have a KDE forum here.

Just recalled the rehash commend suggested for me to use in another thread.
I typed rehash
Then I typed emacs, then the txt based version launched in the terminal. But I thought the KDE GUI version would have launched

Could someone please explain what I'm doing wrong?

I didn't know there was a KDE forum in the desktop management section

That's ok. Just remember that posting in the right forum is more likely to get attention from the right people (in this case people who actually know about KDE, which I don't).
