Not justifying the behavior you're seeing on KDE4... just commenting that this is not specific to KDE4... although I've yet to see or notice it on my desktop.
If there's a problem I have with KDE4, if there's a problem I see others - You too, James - have with KDE4, its that there are so many configuration options, and every plugin you load brings more. And they interact. And applications might or might not over-ride some. I know for sure that this is *not* a something you can do with KDE3 that you can't do with KDE4, because its a BTDT, well actually that's how I've got KDE4 working for me. Unless I click on a windows while the new app is starting, the new apps window gets focus. Sorry, James, that's how it is, its not a shortcoming of KDE4. Now what this configuration difference is we can talk back and forth over all week and into next month, but the simplest thing is for James to have faith in the fact that KDE4 *can* work the way he wants it to work, the way he was working with KDE3, and work through, methodologically, the 6.023x10^23 possible combinations of KDE4 settings .... Or we can suggest things and he tries them But without James having faith ... an so long as James holds that KDE4 is cr8p and KDE3 is God's Own Gift To Suse and Should Never Have Been Supplanted, then the Noodly Appendages will never Bestow Their Blessing on his configuration files ... or whatever it takes. Sorry, guys, I'm fed up of two things: 1. People telling me KDE4 is retrograde compared to KDE3 If you don't like it, don't use it and don't complain about it 2. People telling me its not possible to do what I've been doing for a long time and have no problems with. -- The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order. --Alfred North Whitehead -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
