Having to unlock/lock the icons, opps they aren't icons anymore are they (what rocket scientist came up the term "widget"?), so you can manipulate them. Why is there such an instability problem that that is needed?
The term widget was invented here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Athena
An icon by anyother name is still just an icon.
Can you please be more specific about your issues locking / unlocking the desktop widgets? It seems to me that you would prefer them never to be locked. You do not have to lock them.
You are right in that no one is forced to lock them down. However, if you don't they will get scattered all over the desktop willy-nilly at random. And, in this sense, you cannot add new ones to the desktop it's not even offered from the selection menu unless the desktop is unlocked. My main point here is why is it necessary to "lock down" the desktop inorder to have a stable desktop?
You cannot sort the icons or align them to a grid either.
On the desktop.
I assume that you are now referring to the icons in Konqueror.
No, I am referring to the icons on the desktop. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
