?????? I'm not sure I want the panel hidden; if I do I'd want the converse. make it go away UNLESS I want it to be seen.
Most people seem to be content with automatics. Not me. I've owned sticks for the past 40 or so years. I get to pick which gear and when to engage it, including no gear. The transmission doesn't get to guess what I want or when. I bought a 5X1 HDMI switch many months back. It "featured" auto-sensing[1][2][3]. When I found out how that misfeature failed to keep my selection selected when I powered some non-selected source on or off, I returned it. KDE3 offered me a button to click exactly when I wanted to toggle Kicker on or off, and a choice of logical locations for the button, including no button. It still does. That's my kind of control.
And KDE4 *DOES* give me that, so I'm happy.
The KDE devs apparently refuse to give KDE4 the button I want, unequivocally putting a button to access to panel configuration there. [1] at the time, all HDMI switchers I was able to find with at least 5 inputs "featured" auto-sensing [2] bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Enhanced-Certified-Switch-Equalizer-REV-3-0/dp/B002J1B... another described similarly WRT auto-sensing: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/DISTRIBUTED-BY-MCM-33-10535-/33-10535 another described similarly WRT auto-sensing: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=8463&seq=1&format=2 [3] current prospects for finding a fully manual one seem encouraging ATM -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
