Kickoff configuration?

Hello.

I have been every bit of the settings manager in KDE 4.1 but have been unable to find any options to configure kickoff. Now, all I really want to do is change menu entries from "generic description" to "application naming", having several entries named "file manager" rather than having some called Krusader, Dolphin etc. Any help/suggestions?

Regards

i believe these options aren't yet available. i think kickoff is still under pretty heavy development, and they were just able to get it stable/better performance or 4.1, but haven't yet been able to bring back the configuration options they need. i feel quite certain these options will be back for 4.2, and hope to see them sooner...

_if_ somebody does know how to configure it, do let us know. i'd like to change the height of kickoff to make it show more entrees so i never need to scroll up or down...

That's actually possible, see attacked screenshot. Just grap the handle in the right edge and stretch kickoff to the size you want.
For other configuration options you were right.

oh yes! that's awesome! i didn't think to look/try grabbing the corner since in 4.0 it was in the options menu...this is a definite improvement. simplier than i could've asked for too.
