[opensuse-kde] Desktop pager question
Hi, I've had kde4.2 from factory (I mean os 11.2 alpha factory) for a while but have used kde3 mostly. I'm trying to make the change, seeing as 11.2 will only be kde4 and kde3 has already been removed from factory. I managed to get the lock logout widget on the panel to not look the same by changing from the style that was originally installed but there is one thing left that I don't think is right. In kde3 the desktop pager widget displays thumbnails of what is open on that particular desktop but the kde4 one, version 4.2.1, is just four gray boxes without even numbers. Is there a trick to change this? My last gripe is the logout window doesn't have a suspend to disk option like kde3 does. If there are bugs open for these problems please let me know their numbers I would like to track them, I'm sure somebody must have filed a bug by now.

Using openSUSE Factory is quite risky, since it is only alpha, but I guess you know what you are doing. You could have tried 11.1 + KDE:Factory aka KDE 4.2.2.

I use 11.1 with KDE:Factory, but it should be the same. If I right-click the pager I can open its settings and enable it showing numbers/names and icons. If I hover the pager it does show small windows with a list of apps open on that desktop. I'm not sure if that is related to desktop-effects being enabled or not. Mine are enabled.
My last gripe is the logout window doesn't have a suspend to disk option like kde3 does.
If I open the menu and go to the logout tab, there is suspend to RAM/Disk. If I press CTRL+ALT+DEL I can click+hold on "shutdown" and it offers those two options as well.

Thanks at least I've got numbers, I'm sure I'll find out how to improve it in the future. I held down the left mouse button on shutdown and it gave me the suspend to disk and suspend to ram options. I test factory and in fact it's running very well at the moment. If something breaks I don't update everything at once so I can roll back to the previous version which also helps to find the bug. Thanks again, I think I'll stay on kde4 now. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
