When you find a use for the little and floating windows with my desktop inside --- please let the rest of us know... In KDE 4, the little window is a plasmoid (somebody forgot how to say w-i-n-d-o-w).
Brings back memories of trying to explain object oriented design to people: there is a difference between "has a" and "is a". A plasmoid isn't a window. It can have one, but it isn't one itself.
With KDE4, you don't have a real desktop anymore, instead you must create different windows or plasmoids to display icons on your desktop and the icons all must stay in the window,
No, that is the folder view you're talking about. You can have individual icons on the desktop, but if you want everything from a particular folder shown, then you use the folder view. It is a window, because people might want to have more than one, and not be restricted to just ~/Desktop, but if that is what you want, you can make the folder view take up all your desktop and be done with it
Also, you can no longer add an application 'menu' to the taskbar in kde4 (like editors, terminal, or your own custom menu folder).
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but it's perfectly possible to add a menu to the panel. The taskbar (the place in the panel where you see your open windows) could never hold a menu ever Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
