Use a folder plasmoid, that covers the whole desktop and some plasmoids in the panel instead of task icons and you have nearly the same like a KDE3 desktop. The last time I saw this, I had to ask. What the heck is a plasmoid? Or a widget? The answer I got was that somewhere there is an entire place that explains everything. Gee, that's great. But in the meantime I don't have a working desktop, and can't figure it out.
Very odd this should come up just now.
I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to put the simple command /usr/bin/kfmclient openProfile filemanagement into a desktop icon. (plasmoid, confuse-oid, call it what you will).
You can do this easily enough with anything that is in the menu but you can't seem to just add a desktop icon for a heavily used task. There is just no method to do so. Windows, Mac, Kde3, Gnome, XFCE4, they can all do this in the most obvious way. Why can't KDE4?
The only way to do this that I could find was to create a menu item with menu editor (very well hidden, that) and from there you can create a obfuscate-oid on the desktop. Why? Why does it have to be that difficult.
Because KDE4 is "new and improved" regardless of how irritating or useless it, in fact, is. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
