Testing out Kubuntu with KDE4 right now, and what I miss the most is the regular desktop. Folder view just doesn't cut it (aside from crashing, that is). The desktop should just be a directory like any other, and in this regard the Windows solution is much neater, it makes the most sense if you know your way around computers. The same with the start menu. The launcher is actually pretty nice, but it really needs to be down-sized! Those tabs are a lot bigger than they need to be, and they bloat t...

I'm not big Linux user, except for a fileserver I mainly tinker with it on the side, but when it comes to desktops on it, I've always liked KDE more than Gnome. But there is one thing that I notice immediately, coming from Windows, and it's the mouse sensitivity. It's feels really slippery and unprecise, like it has a constant speed no matter how slightly you move it. And another thing, I really would like to be able to decrease the sensitivity a little more, it's still a bit to fast at the lowe...

Well, I don't quite agree with on the desktops, but hey.. I think there's a more elegant solution to be had Quoted Quoted Well, that's not quite the elegant solution, is it. What I meant was simply something that "mounts" the whole network/workgroup, so that workgroups, computers, shares, etc, all are represented as a "directory" in the tree. Ie. they're mounted all the time, so to speak. That's the same thing That's what the network daemon should do.. But if you are using a static network with ...

Quoted Originally posted by Rinse Dunno, but if an application uses a whole virtual desktop or a whole virtual screen, what's the difference? I dunno.. Less clutter, more space for the application, etc. Why have several desktops when you don't always have use for them. Quoted Should be possible i guess, like a network daemon that checks for network shares and mounts them automaticly. Well, that's not quite the elegant solution, is it. What I meant was simply something that "mounts" the whole ne...

As an old Amiga user back in the days, I've always wondered why no OS (or desktop system) have picked up on having native support for application screens like the Amiga did. Some applications works great sharing the desktop, like browsers, etc. But some larger applications, that basically always takes up a lot of space (graphics, music, etc, etc) should be able to easily (be programmed to) open up a whole screen belonging all to itself, with menus and everything. I've never really got the idea o...
