What "new menu?"
The slab menu is what I was referring to.... it is "new" compared the the classic KMenu.
I also miss having a "desktop" it was so convent to place applications and documents on it for quick access. Now the desktop I guess is a pretty place to show off your wallpaper.
So... use the Folder View widget. That's what it is there for. You can even adjust the size of the widget up to cover the whole screen. I'm using the Oxygen desktop theme, and you can't even tell the folder view is there (ie it's completely transparent). My desktop functions exactly the same now as a KDE3 desktop... a convenient place to drop temp files etc. I do have to say it was a dearly missed feature in the 4.0.4 release... but it's there now in 4.1.
As a word of caution; so many users who come from the MickySoft world are totally ignorant about how their system works. I frequently have to "clean up" XP and now Vista boxen (YES...I FREQUENTLY replace 'Blzoe with openSUSE when I show them my laptop), not just the junk on the hard drive and defrag it, but get rid of all the files on the desktop and limit the number of linked apps. to just a few! This visibly increases performance. Dumping files you work on, downloads, etc., on the desktop takes up RAM on ALL operating systems. It's simply not an intelligent way to operate a 'puter.
