Hm, AFAIK today's CPUs waste less power than those from a few years ago,
Don't forget GPUs. Last I checked, current production desktop GPUs all required active cooling, quite unlike most I'm using. Similar for older CPUs, which generally require considerably smaller heat sinks and fans to keep their CPUs functioning properly. Why do modern desktops require higher output power supplies than their forebears but for a larger power requirement? They may be more efficient, but they still need more.
My netbook, i.e. screen at maximum brightness included, needs 12-19W max. It comes with an on-board intel GPU which works very well for the KDE4 desktop effects. You can put the same hardware into a desktop and have a better performing and less power consuming machine compared to some ancient hardware.
Application launcher settings window opens still come out with window too short to fit even half its content, failing to remember its size or position from last close.
Do you mean kickoff? It does remember its size here. And what do you mean with position? It is attached to the icon. If you move the icon, it moves as well.
I mean when choosing to change the launcher settings, a window opens in which to make settings changes, a window which always opens at a too small size in the middle of the screen, instead of the same size as when last closed, and in the same screen position as when last closed.
The window where you get to pick the launcher icon and whether to open the tabs on hovering? Works here with Factory, i.e. the window is big enough for all its settings.
MC and root sessions are still missing from the default Konsole main menu.
Create them and submit them to openSUSE to include them in the package?
I'm a user/tester, not a programmer. They were there in KDE3, discarded in KDE4, not my definition of progress.
Why do you need to be a programmer in order to create a profile? If I go to Settings > Manage profiles I see a root shell and I can create new shells. That's not to hard if one really needs them that badly. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
