If you only use KDE3 applications, they should obey the KDE3 settings. So what's the problem? If you want to use KDE4 and/or its apps, you have to install it and it will obey the KDE4 settings.
As Randall noted, some KDE4 stuff is installed when only KDE3.5 is selected as the desk top.
I know. Yet he could just install the kde3 apps after the installation finished, if he did not want to use them. Am I wrong?
Yes, absolutely and without a shadow of a doubt you are wrong.
Read what you wrote: "Yet he could just install the kde3 apps *after* the installation finished, if he did *not* want to use them." (my emphasis).
The reread what Randall wrote in his OP.
You do realise though that there were more mails on this thread before that post and that in one of them I gave him the answer to his OP and before he wrote: "I didn't install KDE4. I don't want to install KDE4." Don't try too hard, it will just make you fail.
Oh my aching backside. You simply just don't get it do you? I really do not give a tinker's cuss about , "that there were more mails on this thread before that post and that in one of them I gave him the answer to his OP and before he wrote:". Stop sidetracking the issue and respond to what the above is all about: "Yet he could just install the kde3 apps *after* the installation finished, if he did *not* want to use them." is what you wrote. The "kde3" apps were **already** installed, installed during the installation of oS11.1 and therefore there was no need to install them "*after* the installation was finished". The OP clearly states that he installed *KDE3* - repeat, KDE3 - and not KDE4 but you insist on stating that he should install "kde3 apps _after_ the installation finished". But some KDE4 apps did also install without him selecting them for installation. But these are KDE4 apps. Not KDE3 apps which were already installed because this is what he wanted to install! Here is what was plainly written in the first message in this thread by OP: QUOTE Hi, Now that I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.5, I am also occasionally running KDE 4.1 applications (all of which were installed without any express request on my part, presumably as part of some dependency or pattern). KDE 4.1 applications have their own file save dialogs and these dialogs are defaulting to single-click navigation, which I dislike. How / where can I change this KDE 4.1 option? UNQUOTE
Give it a rest.
Take a (long) vacation.
It would also be of interest to many of us what your association with KDE/openSUSE/Novell is as you seem to be someone employed in one of the PR department to throw doubt on the integrity of anyone questioning even remotely the "virtues" of KDE4.
So, own up: what is your position in the scheme of things- a KDE zealot or developer or a PR man?
Due to your history on this list and attitude,
Aha! "a history", and then there is an "attitude" no less! Care to explain in detail what you just stated, or would you prefer to hide behind the traditional escape mechanism that of the "Italian suppository"?
to be polite,
I am also being polite.
I promised to not feed you
A MOST interesting comment! A comment worthy of being restated: "I promised to not feed you." WHO did you promise to "not feed [me]", hmmm? Do me a big favour, humour me - and others - by answering the questions I asked above.
. Just a hint: It's all in your head! Conspiracy, conspiracy!
Then why write, "I promised to not feed you." I ask, who did you promise? Or is the "I promised" thing all in YOUR mind? Just asking.....
