Hm, AFAIK today's CPUs waste less power than those from a few years ago,
Don't forget GPUs. Last I checked, current production desktop GPUs all required active cooling, quite unlike most I'm using. Similar for older CPUs, which generally require considerably smaller heat sinks and fans to keep their CPUs functioning properly. Why do modern desktops require higher output power supplies than their forebears but for a larger power requirement? They may be more efficient, but they still need more.
Application launcher settings window opens still come out with window too short to fit even half its content, failing to remember its size or position from last close.
Do you mean kickoff? It does remember its size here. And what do you mean with position? It is attached to the icon. If you move the icon, it moves as well.
I mean when choosing to change the launcher settings, a window opens in which to make settings changes, a window which always opens at a too small size in the middle of the screen, instead of the same size as when last closed, and in the same screen position as when last closed.
MC and root sessions are still missing from the default Konsole main menu.
Create them and submit them to openSUSE to include them in the package?
I'm a user/tester, not a programmer. They were there in KDE3, discarded in KDE4, not my definition of progress.
The Klipper icon in the tray fails to identify itself on hover. There's more, but I have better things to do than catalog shortcomings of a supposedly "GA" DTE product.
Luckily I don't remember all the KDE3 bugs I got used to and thus felt "alright". I use Factory and somehow I can do my work without any annoyances. But then I do not resize my panel every other day.
On how many do you use Factory? I have it and its various milestone and RC incarnations on 7 systems at last count. Part of testing is post-install personalization. It takes me longer in 4.x than it used to in 3.x, even though v4 has progressed to .4 over more than two years. For getting routine work done I'm still using 11.0/3.5.whatever, and OS/2, which remembers last opened window sizes and positions, same as it did 15 years ago. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
