One of the things that really irked me about the move from KDE3 to KDE4 was the loss of the secure file erasure facility in Kgpg, with no replacement in sight.
I'm gradually getting used to running KDE4 on one machine while keeping everything else as KDE3 for the time being, and for the most part, KDE4 is quite tolerable. Some parts are really great, but having a gui secure file eraser is quite missing.
User-level Shred was always a "fake sense of security" tool. Explanation here:

Sorry Will, but that whole explanation sounds more like an excuse than a reason. Being able to securely erase files is important to me, and KDE3 KGPG provided a really convenient way to do this. It wasn't terribly important what program had the function, but having it in Kgpg was very convenient. NOT having it at all was a really annoying decision, and I still see no effort by KDE4 developers to replace the function. -- Robert Smits Email bob@rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
