(Likewise for different wallpaper backgrounds on the virtual? Desktops? Which has been promised but is not forthcoming?)
This is a feature that is under development. The rudiments of it is actually already in kde 4.1, but it's broken so it's hidden and disabled by default. But it will get there eventually
Hopefully. Also add some sounds for the desktops, like opening, closing, at least.
# 2 To leave, shutdown, or change user. You used to be able to click on an open portion of the desktop and get a menu item to “Leave” and then a sub menu to do what it was that you wished. No more. It is not there. If you go the the “kickoff” menu it brings up the “Leave” option but when you click on it nothing happens. Leaving you the last choice, on the end of the taskbar or whatever it is called now (why was it necessary to change all of the names of things?) is the little red icon for “Leave” which then works properly.
This works for me (the kickoff option). If it doesn't for you, that is a bug
OK, but why is it a bug for me and not for you. Don't have any idea how I would fix that short of a reinstall of 4.2.1, Also, why exclude that from the "right click" menu on the desktop? Missing feature.
#3b Working in full screen – Composing messages by copying and pasting. Eg. Open a composer window and the small window opens up on the top of the full sized Kmail window. You want to see or copy something behind the composer window. You click on the main window and the composer window dissapears behind the main window. Now you have to reduce the main window to see the composer window again. Used to be that the composer window would minimize, appear in the task bar and a simple click would bring it up again. A missing feature.
The task bar entries are grouped. When you have a composer window open, the "kontact" (or "kmail") task bar entry is grouped. If you click on it you'll bring up a menu where you can select the composer window.
OK, the "kmail" itself shows in the task bar but if I click on it, it minimizes kmail itself. Right click it? Hmm will try that. But even still that makes extra motions to get the composer back again. I'll try what you said and see whaat happens and report back here.
#3c Cannot copy attachments (jpeg, wmv, etc) from a message in the main window to the composer window. Used to be able to do that easily, Two clicks. Another missing feature.
I just tried this. You can drag and drop attachments. Open a composer window. Click and hold the attachment in the original email, and drag it over to the composer window (if it is visible), or drag it to the "kontact" taskbar entry, wait for the menu to pop up (it happens automatically if you hover over it), continue dragging the attachment to the "composer" part of the menu that pops up, which will bring up the composer window, and then drag it to the composer window. This will then paste it into the new email
Well, I never tried that because I work with a full screen Kmail messsage. If I click on the message to drag an attachment the composer window "hides" I guess that would work if you were working with two less than full sized windows. I will try what you said, but why not have a straight forward copy and paste?
#3d Why can't you copy and paste into the "To" line or the "CC" line?
You can. I do this all the time
Hmmm.. Well, I cannot. It always pastes into the "message" portion pf the composer window even though the cursor is flashing in the "To" line. I really wonder why some people have these little quirks and others do not.
