I know you are trying to help Dotan, but I just cannot find any compelling reason to move to KDE4. I just don't have the time NOR the inclination to figure out how to make KDE4 work like KDE3. Especially since I can still use KDE3. I don't share the new direction that the KDE devs have decided upon.
That's fine, you don't have to use it! You certainly have no obligation, quite the opposite. I just want to know what the problems are so that I can help fix them.
I'm using a friend's machine that has KDE4 and it's annoying. I move the mouse to far when going to the file menu and the screen jumps with that annoying choose a window.
You can disable that in System Settings.
It is the first thing that I disable on a new KDE 4 install!
That should tell you something Dotan!
It does, the thing is annoying. So what, you can change it easily.
If you want *anyone* from the kde3 stallwarts to ever like your 4.4 or more,
It's not _my_ 4.4. I'm a user, like you, not a dev.
why don't you start by *DISABLING ALL* THE IRRITATING AND USELESS CRAP BY DEFAULT!!!*
The usual reason given is that "nobody will know that it's there". So apparently they throw all this glitz in our face so that we will know it's there, and let us disable what we don't like.
how'z that for an idea? I am sure many have asked for it, please count my vote too....
Here? File an issue: http://bugs.kde.org
I will certainly refuse to look at any kde4 any more it until that is done as a minimum.
You might like the Netbook remix, then.
Then and only then can I compare functionality, and then and only then you can start pointing at alll the useless *cool* things one can enable. or give us PERMANENTLY remove howto's:)
It seems that you would like a ~/.kde folder with everything disabled. If I send you one as a tarball, would that help? Should I remove all the panel and toolbars and icons and colour schemes and menu items? Disable all keyboard shortcuts? How would you open any applications or System Setting to change anything? In other words, I doubt that you want everything removed. Let me know what you want removed, and I'll try to help. But don't make me guess what you want removed, tell me. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
