I am using kde4.
The version of KDE4 is important. The devs have made some significant improvements and changes from the 4.3.5 default that you get with a standard update on 11.2, and the KDE 4.4.x that youc an get from the Factory repository.
already have; now I have altogether four on the desktop, and find no way to eliminate the excess (there are options for adding widgets, but none for abandoning them).
Any desktop object can be removed (assuming widgets are unlocked) by right clicking and selecting Remove. If it's a desktop widget and the widgets are unlocked, you can also click the X in the pop out bar that shows up when you hover over the widget... applies to all widgets.
But these Device notifiers are displayed as small windows, not as an icon
Because you added them to your desktop... not the panel. In the panel it's an icon that "slides" open when you click on it.
as I described on the laptop, and clicking everywhere on them has not revealed a menu of actions for the USB stick, so this widget seems not to be very useful.
If the USB stick is not mounted.. there's nothing to do... click the USB stick in the Device notifier.. open in File manager... then it's mounted.. now you'll have options to Safely remove... this is the same regardless of if you're using the Desktop Notifier as a desktop widget or a panel widet.
I did find a "Help" button with some relief; clicking on it brings up a dialog window that says: "The file or folder help:/plasma- desktop/index.html does not exist". Way to go, KDE!
You cannot blame KDE for that. Did you install the Plasma help? If it's not installed, then.. there's nothing to display.
If somebody could tell me how to achieve some control over the USB stick, e.g. ejecting it, I would be very grateful. If somebody knows how to discard the extra copies of Device Notifier, I will be overjoyed.
I guess you're overjoyed then. It's been explained a couple times now. :-P C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
