Drag-n-drop (like in XP) would be nice. Nothing happens, just it
doesn't works. (I think it's not implemented)

Then explain please exactly what you're trying to do, because it works for me.

Here is it: - QuickLauncher Applet for KDE4

Let's open a feature-request in Novell bugzilla ?

Either that, or package it in the OBS and ask for inclusion :)

Interesting. So your workflow is that you minimize all windows and then
start a new application from the start menu?
I think thats similar to switching to a new virtual desktop? do you use
that? Can you get used to that?
I have found it. Just an applet needs to be added, but it's part of KDE4.
"show dashboard" is on by default on the place where KDE3/XP have
"show desktop".

And you don't want it there because you assume that it is "show desktop" and
are then confused that it doesn't behave the same way? Hmm, thats a problem.

xscreensavers provide them. Otherwise this seems to be a pattern bug
(kdeartwork4-screensaver not installed by default). Stephan?
"kdeartwork4-screensaver" package not found. "xscreensavers" is installed.

Bug opened:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415799

Thanks!

So far we spoke only about KDE4 The Desktop. Another problematic area
is: KDE4 Applications.
They are buggy too. (That's you KRDC4, ...)

It is getting better however as time goes by :)

Greetings,
Dirk
