Hi melkevizth, Fuzzo, In case you are speaking of the mini-program located at the right side of the task bar: Have you tried to right-click on that button? You should see an option "Configure session manager" or similar. When you click there, you should get a configuration panel where you can disable these options. I have another issue in this area: I WANT these buttons to be present and I have enabled them - but they don't show up. My OS is OpenSUSE 10.3, KDE version is 3.5.7 "release 72" - whe...

I thought the first one is a simple question... Is it really possible that nobody here around even KNOWS whether this is configurable without compiling KDE from sources or not??!? Am I in the wrong forum, perhaps?

It seems that from Knoppix 5.1 to 5.2, the "grid distance" has changed, now the icons are more apart from each other - I want the old setting back! I assumed that this is configurabe and I tried to search the system but could not find how to set it, even though 'find / -xdev -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep grid | grep kde' returned a lot of matches. A few minutes ago I found a thread in the german KDE forum about icon positions where it was advised to set the icon positions by editing .kde/share...

(I decided to start a new thread about it)

... except "buy new one" of course ;-) A few weeks ago my main system broke and I was forced to use an "emergency PC" with a Pentium at 166MHz, 128MB RAM and an S3v64+ graphics card with 2MB RAM, no sound at all. A real emergency... Now that my main system is fixed and the emergency is over: Are there any advices about how to make KDE as lightweight as possible and(/or?) as fast as possible? One might think that older KDE versions might be better on this, is this generally true or would it be po...

Thanks a lot, it worked. Somehow I overlooked it: The sub-menue with the flag contains a tab "Time & Date" or similar where I can specify the "short date format" to be "YYYY-MM-DD" (<- translated). The Kicker-clock accepts the change only after a restart of KDE but then I have what I want ^-^ Cheers D.

Hi all, my locale is german, therefore the default date format is dd.mm.yyyy, but I like the japanese/ISO format yyyy-mm-dd much better. Is there any way to configure the clock of the kicker panel to display the date in ISO format and leave the rest in german? In any KDE version up to now, 2007-02-19? If anyone knows that it is not possible (without hacking the KDE sources and recompiling KDE), please tell me, then I know that I don't need to spend time on searching for a solution. TIA dirk

Quoted Originally posted by Rinse Wel, i use 10.1 with kde 3.5.5, but that should not matter. Do you use a background in the panel? Mine is switched off.. Yes, I did: /opt/kde3/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png But switching it off did not make it noticable faster. Maybe a tiny bit, but it's still about a second. Anyway, Thanks! I leave it off. Now everything in the "backround frame" is unchecked. Still checked in the "appearence"(*) submenu: "symbol effects"(*) and "short info hints"(*)...

Thanks for checking! Hmmmmm.... Just what could be wrong here? I'm running a SuSE 10.1, KDE version 3.5.1 Level "a" (read from the KDE control center) Any idea for what I could look? I also tried fiddling with autoraising, but this only affects "real" windows, not the control panel. Any ideas? Could I perhaps hand-craft something? Or may I have accidently/unwillingly broken some config?

Quoted Originally posted by bram85 It works OK here. Do you mean the control panel hides itself very fast (say, within a tenth of a second) or do you mean you are satisfied as it is? To clarify: If you move the mouse pointer in a circle that touches the bottom of the screen as fast as you can, how long do you see the control panel? [_] About a second? (That's what I see.) [_] About a tenth of a second or less? (That's what I want to see.) I want to see it for no longer than a tenth of a second ...

Hi all, I want the "control panel" (the panel at the lower side of the screen) to disappear as fast as possible when the mouse pointer leaves that area. I've configured the control panel to auto-hide "immediately", animation off, come to foreground when lower border of the window is hit. What I observe: When I hit the lower border, the panel appers immediately, fine, but when the cursor leaves the panel area, it takes about a second for the panel to vanish. One second - that's IMHO annoyingly sl...
