Since I make no use if widgets, (too unreliable, unstable, and limited),
What! None at all? You don't have a panel at the bottom (or top or side) of the screen, don't have a (kickoff) menu, clock, pager or switching between virtual desktops, system tray?
Aren't all those 'widgets'?
What were they called in KDE2 days?
I can only manipulate them if I 'unlock widgets' and the left-click on the screen away from a window or at the right of the panel lets me add things like that once I select "add widgets", so these must be widgets.
The ones I use, the panel, the clock, clipboard, the pager, the menu, the systray, the task manager, the mixer, the trash-can - they are all quite stable and reliable.
Perhaps you could tell us which ones you use that are unstable and unreliable.
All of them unless you keep them in jail, Er i mean locked.
Perhaps you could tell us how you start processes without a menu, how you manage your virtual desktops without a pager. All those are widgets that I don't think I could do without. They are also the widgets in would want available in any and all Activities, pretty much the only ones except for a folder view :-)
I still prefer call them icons, a pictorial on the "desktop" used to launch an application. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
