Agreed. In fact, I like the single-click implementation in KDE better that in Doze, but definitely single-click.
In Doze this feature was an odd-on kludge, and therefor it's a bit quirky. It's not as well-integrated into the environment as it is in KDE.
And as long as we're on the subject, one other thing that I find EXTREMELY usefull that ~isn't~ implemented in Doze, and seems invaluable now that I'm used to it is the ALT-Click window functionality. When you hold the ALT key down, the application ... need to grab the title bar. The right button will resize the window. Where the curser is when you press the right button determines whether the window is sized horizontally or vertically or both.
This has been around in KDE since at least 4 years, and other window managers have also implemented it (e.g., WindowMaker does it). For me is one of the most comfortable features of the window manager. There are two features i really miss when i must work under Windows: a) The alt/mouse moving/resizing of windows. b) The ability to wheel-scroll an arbitrary window or scrolling UI control without having to bring it to the front. In Doze you have to explicitely give that control focus before you can scroll it with the wheel. There is an "X-mouse-mode" add-on for Windows, but (again) it's an add-on kludge and doesn't work as nearly nicely as that feature under X11. Those may seem small, but they make a huge difference once you're used to having them. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
