1/2 of the plasmoids aren't configurable, so if your system differs in any appreciable amount from the plasmoid dev then you may have issues and then either stick with it and deal (aka Half baked plasmoid) or drop it and "hope" you'll find something that might work... Take the many versions of weather plasmoids...
Not that I'm trying to justify it (I agree 100% with your observation) but... how is this any different from say... SuperKaramba applets in KDE3? SK in V3 wasn't my favorite... I used Gkrellm for that. It's wasn't until recently

So... the plasmoids problem you've pointed out isn't a new one.
I agree, the plasmoids are an old problem that just seems to persist as a problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but one cannot seperated "plasma" from the base KDE4 desktop. I mean one does not have to "utilize" the various "plasmoids" but the plasma dashboard is riveted to the desktop and if you kill plasma you kill K-V4, the whole concept upon which "plasma" was developed is what I have issue with.
Over all the menu and "kickoff" (I H the menu update tool that used to be in kde 3 isn't there
It isn't? Then I've managed to install it somehow... I've got the same menu editor in KDE4.4 as I had in KDE3.5. Looks the same..
functions the same.
There was a "program" (you know - click an icon, and get a gui with more icons to click... not a menu editor) that would search various directories and then present them in a windows list with check boxes to select the various programs to be "integrated" into the menu (and this was DISCONTINUED in K v3.5 ... actually SUSE D/C'ed it in 3.4 but one could install it 3rd party). Once you select the programs (or there was and option to select all) the you hit ok and voila ... updated menus without the need to manually edit the menu. Yes, the same menu "editor" is available in both versions.... however, have fun entering 30 or more new programs into said menu...lots of fun! Especially considering there used to be a "program" that would automatically add the majority of new or non-traditional entries via said gui. Curtis. -- BEWARE!
