Now Accepting Application from SAND NIGGERS!
Not really.
Looking through the changelog, the unmentioned change is probably that the latest QT doesn't break KDE, cutting off the right side of the K menu. Upgrading QT caused the K menu to do insane things.
Not that I expected less from desktop environments cobbled together to emulate pretty screenshots for the backs of Linux distro packaging (consider it a troll if you want...I'm extremely disappointed in the state of the Linux desktop right now...Y-Windows is the obvious future).
"Sufferin' succotash."
Now (for the first time, I admit) I had to use a Mac, with OS/X. I had a hard time. Everything was different - hell, there wasn't even a freaking right mouse button!
OMFG!! No right mouse button! Holy shit! OMG! You were unable to PLUG IN A GENERIC STANDARD TWO-BUTTON MOUSE AVAILABLE FOR, AT MOST, $7 AT THE LOCAL RADIO SHACK.
That means OS X must suck and Linux rules. Because an Apple computer, designed to be entirely usable with just one button, actually comes with a one-button mouse.
"Sufferin' succotash."
(no more bloated interfaces, but still with all the features, what do you gnomers say now?)
No more bloated interfaces? Tell me, what's been removed? Same interface that 3.1 had.
3.2 added more sidebar buttons, more of what GUI designers like to call "cruft." Load up Control Center some time--you've got like a hundred items in there, grouped within groups.
Also, you have a single "K" menu. This is goofy and amateur. Gnome has a seperate Applications pull down menu for programs, and an Actions menu for logging out, restarting, and so forth. The K menu has at least three redundancies, Preferences, Control Center, System, etc. And most application groups have a "More Programs" group for some reason. This is extremely confusing, and also a hindrance to power users who just want to find what app they need to run.
Also, I have to click once on hyperlink desktop items and wait three seconds as a Home folder loads. Gnome requires that you double-click like every other sane GUI, and I get the window *instantly*.
There is simply no good reason to have your web browser be your filesystem browser. One program is designed to retrieve graphical content via an HTTP protocol and display it, while the other is designed to display folders and manipulate files through moving, copying, and so forth.
I find it hilarious that people bitch when Microsoft integrates Internet Explorer but find it perfectly acceptable that Konquerer be integrated into KDE. What happened to the whole "but newbies will use what's already there by default, and that flies in the face of choice" argument that we always hear against Windows?
I'm not even going to get into the spacing issues (try telling an application menu to remain at the top like MacOS--then shoot the cursor up and click--there is a space of a pixel up there that doesn't register as a click, defeating the whole purpose, because Mac users are used to slamming the mouse up and hitting a menu which is faster than pinpointing a menu attached to a floating window), the spacing between menu items, the layout of buttons (OK, Cancel is evil...not to mention that things like Cancel should be on the left, Save and Quit in the middle, Exit on the right, and the buttons should not be equally spaced...Cancel should be moved to the very left while the other two should be grouped together), and so on and so forth.
You asked what we gnomers say to it...I responded how this gnomer feels about KDE 3.2. Other opinions may vary. Gnome 2.6 is due out later this month. Look to it for a CLEAN, elegant desktop designed not to get in your way but to let you actually operate your computer, instead of giving you a thousand-and-one ways to create pretty screenshots for kde-look.org that aren't even usable as daily interfaces. Gnome isn't perfect, but you can tell it's focus it to be a clean and elegant interface, not a huge massive sidebar-button-filled convoluted interface with a name like "KDE" and apps like "Kouger," "Kroupware," and "Kallery."
"Sufferin' succotash."
Please don't talk about something you know nothing about. A web browser isn't designed to retrieve "graphical content". A file manager has many of the same characteristics as a web browser, especially when you consider WebDAV and the like.
.
No, a web browser and a file manager have nothing to do with each other. Zero, nada. One retrieves visual content via the HTTP protocol, the other scans your filesystem and displays folders and files.
The term you are looking for is Fitt's Law: since the edges of the screen are essentially infinite in depth, items placed on the edges are much larger and therefore easier to click.
I've just switched the feature you are talking about on: the bug you describe does not exist in 3.2. This just lends more credibility to the theory that you haven't used KDE
I am running 3.2 as I type this. Clicking on the top does not register the click.
I don't know why you link to a post describing that the K button is not larger than other buttons--I never said it was larger. I said the button has a giant "K" on it, which makes no sense. Gnome has an Applications and Actions menu, which makes sense.
Disagree with me if you want--but don't call me a troll just because you like KDE. Those who are modding me down are censoring me because I go against the KDE groupthink. I believe the Linux desktop is in horrible shambles, and only Linux geeks really use it and think it's powerful. Few newbies can use it unless a geek sets it up perfectly for them in a precarious balance, but once those newbies actually keep using it and break the system, all hell breaks loose.
