  1. File Dialog on Gnome 2.2 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > And a month ahead of the originally planned six-month release cycle.

    They should have taken this month to implement a better file dialog.

  2. Re:KDE 3.1 on Corporate KDE · · Score: 1

    Call "Settings/Configure Toolbars..." and add "Close Current Tab" to the toolbar and position of liking. Voila, it's like Mozilla. And the "New Tab" shortcut can be changed with "Settings/Configure Shortcurts...".

  3. Re:Edge flipping yet? on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Right click on window title, select "Configure Window Behavior...", click on "Advanced", choose in "Active Desktop Borders" groupbox.

    Where have you been? That was already reintroduced with KDE 3.0!

  5. Re:One pet peeve on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    KDE 3.1 even offer a "Disable This Popup" entry in the pop up menu. But you better "Configure Klipper..." and add Phoenix under "Advanced..." in the "Action" to be ignored so that you can still use the actions if you select e.g. an URL in a terminal output.

  6. Re:KDE Outgrowing X11R6? on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    > Where did they get the idea that Mozilla and OpenOffice are somehow connected to GNOME??

    It's part of Gnome propaganda: http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/
    "all the applications of OpenOffice will become part of GNOME Office."

  7. Re:I still have to remove the desktop icons on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    The Home icons can be simply deleted with RMB menu->Delete. And you can simply change the Trash path in the control center to be not in your Desktop/ directory too since versions.

    Possible in KDE 3.1: [ ] Enable icons on desktop

  9. Re:little 'X' button to close tabs? on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    You can add "Close Current Tab" with "Configure Toolbars..." to the toolbar of your choice. An "X" within each tab is a planned feature for KDE 3.2.

  10. Re:superb desktop, always top notch from the KDE t on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    KDE picks up common keyboard shortcuts if they are not previously used by KDE for something else, e.g. F9 for sidebar or Ctrl-W to close a tab.

    > The *Linux community as a whole* seems to prefer KDE? What are you *smoking*?

    I wonder what you're smoking. :-) Nearly every poll shows that.

    > Look at the quantities of software for each

    I regularly see more KDE software than Gnome software in the release digests on linuxtoday.com and more reader views of the KDE digest.

    > look at what the most popular distribution is

    According to distrowatch.com it's Mandrake, and to desktoplinux.com polls it's either Mandrake or Debian.

    > SuSE is almost dead (at least in the States)

    You wish. All your comments only show that you're a closed-minded US american who likely thinks it's patriotic to hail RedHat and Gnome and slag down everything/everyone other.

    > most ISV's choose GTK for their applications. [..] TheKompany is the exception to the rule.

    Can you say SuSE, Opera, Borland or Hancom?

    > And even then, TheKompany doesn't use KDE anymore, they just use Qt so that their apps can run on all three of the major platforms.

    And how many applications of the "Gnome camp" or in reality only GTK applications?

    Then you should post a[nother] Slashdot story about it. ;-)

    Invented by Gnome? Don't by silly, there is much prior art for this.

    I read that KDE 3.1 will enter sid shortly after KDE release and there will be also KDE 3.1 packages for woody.

    Evolution does other things too (Calendar, RDF-Newsticker, ...) for which you would use KOrganizer, KNewsticker, ... under KDE.

    Funny, I think it's at the moment just the opposite way round.
