One thing I've noticed is that KDE4 simply doesn't work as well as KDE3, even ignoring the differences in features. For example, often when I click on something to open it, I have to hunt to see where it is, rather than it opening on top of everything else. I also find that when something opens, it often does not have focus for the keyboard, so that if, for example, I press Alt-F2 to run something, I find that even though the box opens, I wind up typing into another app.
In this aspect alone, KDE4 has a long way to go to catch up to KDE3, even before considering the things that are no longer possible in KDE4.
Have you tweaked a setting somewhere? i haven't encountered this issue you present as an example of a problem with KDE4 at all.. and I just tested it following your example and it behaves as you are expecting it to not how you are describing it (ie I open an app using Alt+F2 and focus is immediately shifted to the new app once it's open).
I have to agree, I don't observe the problems James describes.
somewhere in KDE4's systemsettings there's different settings re. focus, if it follows the mouse or not, per example. don't really remember, haven't messed around with it in a long time. i experience these focus issues with some app.s, always the same ones. pressing <F4> in konqueror, per example, opens a konsole window konqueror's directory, but, at least for me, always behind the calling konqueror window. got used to pressing <alt+tab> in this situation and don't hardly notice it anymore. never bothered to inquire or complain, because it really doesn't bother me. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
