I feel like I've traded in my old decked-out car for a new one with shiny paint but no options... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

From http://wiki.kde.org/KDE+4+Goals :

Suggestion: One thing the KDE users like is the easy configurability of the desktop. Try to make the start menu as adaptable to our taste as you can. We don't need another gnome clone desktop. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238397 ------- Comment #6 from james@bear454.com 2007-01-31 11:56 MST ------- I appreciate the added eye candy, and the addition of a 'Favorites' area, and the inclusion of desktop search in the new KDE menu, but I'm really struck by the overall lack of flexibility both in the software, and the developer(s). So, to be clear, it is the intent of the developer(s) to: 1) Not provide in the new KDE menu the functionality available in the KDE menu being replaced. 2) Not provide any method for the user to modify/adjust/personalize the behavior of the new KDE menu. 3) Not implement any 'File Manager' functions (except Documents the History tab, and what is available through the Beagle plugin) 4) Not document how the menu operates, or provide a standard interface for adding other plugins that enhance user functionality 5) Not implement the complete "usability" feature set provided in the Gnome "Computer" menu. 6) Not support basic expected user experience functionality (like changing icon sets when the user selects a new icon set) without rebooting (hello Windows!).
