It's all there on my KDE4.4 desktop.
C.
Here you refer to the window labeled "Desktop" wherein I refer to the desktop as the whole screen that has been traditionally called the "Desktop". When you click on the screen (desktop) you get no such option.
This isn't Microsoft Windows, stop trying to make it the same. And having to zoom the desktop in and out to get to other apps that are running _is_ a step backward.
It is funny that you insist on using MS Windows terminology and insist on MS Windows behaviour, then request that KDE not act like MS Windows. KDE 4 is the furthest thing from MS WIndows so far as the desktop is concerned. So far, in fact, that it seems to make you uncomfortable. If you prefer MS Windows behaviour, use the Folder View mode.
I'm still learning some of the insane nuances of KDE 4.x
They are in fact different than KDE 3 or Windows, and I know that it will take some unlearning. My intention is not to force you into KDE 4, rather, to identify where KDE 4 could improve to be more comfortable for current KDE 3 users. Thanks for sharing your frustrations with me to help improve KDE 4. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
