3. After the initial installation there was like a transparent image where firefox, thrashcan were on. I close it and I do not know where it is now. I believe it was called <desktop folder> Also what is the purpose of that desktop folder?
This was discussed on factory quite a bit - no satisfactory answer was ever given for what practical purpose the desktop folder served other than making it more difficult to set up a regular desktop. It also does not scale over vnc. The best explanation was that you can create more of them so you can have different desktop configurations? Obviously it was someone's pet that got pushed through.
Aaron Siego's pet. You have no idea how much of a stick was made on BKO (bugs.kde.org) over it's configuration cashew. But I think it's fine: most of Plasma is Aaron's pet and he has done a wonderful job. As much as I have criticized some of his decisions in the past, I am proud of what he has done with KDE 4 and Plasma and I support even the things that I do not agree with to get the final product. Note that Plasma and KDE 4 are not done. I trust that there will be new features in future releases that make use of the technology, that has proven to be the case for most of the controversial features of KDE 4.0 and 4.1. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
