3. After the initial installation there was like a transparent image where firefox, thrashcan were on. I close it and I do not know where it is now. I believe it was called <desktop folder> Also what is the purpose of that desktop folder?
This was discussed on factory quite a bit - no satisfactory answer was ever given for what practical purpose the desktop folder served other than making it more difficult to set up a regular desktop. It also does not scale over vnc. The best explanation was that you can create more of them so you can have different desktop configurations? Obviously it was someone's pet that got pushed through.
The folderview is for people who work on more than one project at a time and were stuck with kde3's inflexibility regarding the desktop and its arrangement/functionality. KDE4 offers the kde3-way and on top of that folderview. Since folderview is a lot more flexible and gives the user a choice how many projects and where those are saved, it is default. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2008-12/msg00559.html Reading the introduction when/before using a new version helps usually too. http://help.opensuse.org/kde4/ Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
