[opensuse-factory] SUSE KInfoCenter
I thought I was imagining things. KInfoCenter is a 2 pane panel with various types of information selectable in the left pane that displays in the right pane. In various distros, those types take the form of applets that are separately selectable via the monitor section of the KDE system menu. My 10.0 is one that provides the separate applets. My upgrades of factory to RC3 or whatever is there now do not, providing only KInfoCenter in the monitor menu. I just went to upgrade another box from an earlier factory with the 2.6.18.2-31 kernel. In my recently used applications menu is the X-Server applet, which I can open as described, to the individual applet. However, in the system monitor menu is only the KInfoCenter option, not the individual applets, which means somewhere along the way in factory recently some configuration changed. Why did this happen? How or what can I reconfigure so that the KDE system monitor menu offers the individual applets instead of KInfoCenter? -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."

See comment 9 of above entry how to revert to the previous duplication of showing the individual applets and KInfoCenter.

When I made the report that led to this change, I couldn't imagine that showing these modules as individual applications is the intended behaviour. The modules are collected from .desktop files in $KDEDIR/share/applications/kde. Looking at this directory, I can find a lot of other .desktop files which are not shown either. E.g. xserver.desktop has: X-KDE-Library=info X-KDE-FactoryName=xserver X-KDE-ParentApp=kinfocenter Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-information; This was shown in the menu. And now, e.g. language.desktop has: X-KDE-Library=locale X-KDE-FactoryName=locale X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-settings-accessibility; It sounded illogical to me that the former is shown as an individual item, but the latter is not. Both are modules that are usually accessed through a ParentApp, kinfocenter in the first case and kcontrol in the latter case. I was convinced that showing kinfocenter modules as applications while not showing kcontrol modules as applications is just an oversight, and I still think that this change is not the worst idea until someone clearly states that these modules are intended to be considered as applications on their own.
