Since then I've become a regular SuSe user and a KDE devotee, but I can't seem to find a way to bring the detachable menus back, either for the K menu, or application menus.
Does anyone know how I could do this?
I don't share your fondness for this GUI scheme, but here's how you access detachable menus: Look for the gnurled texture at the left or top of a menu or tool bar. Click and drag from that area and the menu or tool bar will detach and float.
I'm using SuSe 9.1 pro and there is no gnurled texture or other grabable handle on my menus in KDE.
I've done some hunting around and I still can't find an option for it. Any more ideas?
Well, you said KDE, but as far as I know, the description I gave applies only to native KDE applications, not universally to all applications that happen to be launched under KDE. Also I don't believe that all KDE applications implement this feature, since it presumably requires some extra programming effort. (OK--I found one. Amarok does not have a detachable menu bar, though it is a KDE application.) If I understand correctly, some Gnome-based applications have tear-off menus. You can identify them by the "performations" at the top of the menu (between the menu name and the first command). Selecting that performation instead of one of the menu commands will detach that menu and turn it into a floating tool bar. What application(s) are you using?
Thanks
