This is a continuation of a thread in the LibraOffice mail list.
In KDE 3, it was possible to add a section of the main menu to the panel, so that you could have a pop-up list of applications. In OS/2, it was possible to add a "Drawer" to the task bar, so that you could have a list of applications to choose from. Is there anything similar available in KDE 4 (KDE 3 mode), so that you could click on an icon on the panel that opens a list of apps to chose from? All I can find is the menu launcher, which simply duplicates the menu that's normally at the left end of the panel.
Yes. Unlock, add widgets then ... There's "drawer" as "shelf" and there's also "quick access" but that's not really geared to apps. There's also "quicklaunch'. I set up a side panel with ONLY quicklauch and all the apps I want. The side panel hides when not in used/mouseover. This is great and is of high utility value and I'm sure you'll be impressed with it. David Rankin mentioned this in a post here long ago; grep the archives or contact him for details. I have no regrets about leaving KDE3 behind. Of course if you can code in perl, ruby or PHP you can add you own :-) -- "Education must precede motivation."
