alternatively you could turn off desktop spinning..

Kind of defeats the purpose :-) and.. doesn't help anyway... as long as compositing is turned on and desktop effects are turned on, the desktop switches when you activate the mouse scroll on the desktop... regardless of Cube, Fade etc etc.. or no switching effect. I use it on my desktop, there it's fine.. it's only really a problem on the netbook combined with my fat fingers.

I looked, swearing blind that it used to be possible - but it's not, in 4.3 at least. From KDE 4.4 it is configurable again, from the Desktop Settings dialog. The 4.4 beta cycle isn't that far off. Alternatively you could add the attached patch to a personal branch of kdelibs4 in the OBS, register the resulting repo with a lower priority than 11.2, KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop, KDE:43 or whatever it was branched off and sit tight.

Will, would you mind attaching a similar patch for the task bar to this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198661 (Add option to disable scroll on taskbar) Thanks in advance! -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hey, I didn't even know you could use the scroll wheel on the task bar to switch apps - that's pretty cool (as long as it only happens when you want it too ;-)). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It can be useful in some circumstances... being able to toggle it on/off is rather critical though... especially on a laptop where an accidental swipe of the scroll area on the touchpad can set off a rather un-amusing rapid swap between whatever apps you have open. :-P With a regular mouse, it's much more user friendly.

Please add that info to the bug report, Clayton. The devs think that I am the only one with this problem. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hey Dotan... which bug? You linked this one earlier in the thread: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198661 but judging from the last comment, it appears that the option has been added... but I could be reading it wrong.

No, the option was added to a third party plasmoid that was suggested on the bug. The option has not been added to the official task bar that comes with KDE. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah, OK, done... commented and voted. Of course... that particular bug isn't the same issue as the one I raised here :-) but as Will said, the toggle for the desktop switching is due in KDE4.4 C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No worries... it was a similar issue, and needs the same resolution, a toggle for the mouse scroll feature. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
