[opensuse-factory] openSUSE KDE / Gnome Menu
Hi. As far as I know, the Gnome Main menu as well as the new KDE Menu (kicker, right?) were implemented by Novell. I think both are quiet a nice thing. As I prefer Gnome as my Desktop, I was wondering if the start menu there will evolve a bit more, maybe in direction of Kicker? This tabbed view of Kicker rocks. The Gnome Menu with the favourites is very handy, as it brings me all the apps I most need. But on the other hand, the access to the 'other Applications' is sometimes rather slow (takes about 3 seoncds to open on my notebook). For this, the 'Applications tab' in KDE is very handy... even though I think you need to click to much when going through the menu levels. What are other peoples thoughts about these menus?

Kickoff.. kicker is the panels, systray, old menu etc. Kickoff is a part of kicker.

They seem to vary a lot. Many switch back to classic finding kickoff too complex. But there seems to be a general agreement among gnome-users that Kickoff is better than Slab, I've heard it many times now, and I haven't heard anyone state the opposite. Haven't used Slab enough to have an opinion.

As I commented in my recent blog entries about using KDE for a short time, I think KickOff kicks (sorry, bad pun) slab's butt[1]. Also, slab seems to like my CPU rather too much and is disinclined to allow other processes (apart from it's cousin, application-browser) to use it.

Single click vs. double click can be set in the control center under Peripherials-->Mouse where you chose your preference. Of course you always have the search feature at the top in control center. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hello I agree. I like the new menus a lot. But I think there should be a way to access all your applications without having to open a separate application browser. I think the best way would be to have the standard gnome menu accessible through slab. It could be called "all applications" or something similar.
