Thanks. I had misinterpreted one of the Debian blog postings about 4.4.
I see now that it is expected the next stable will ship with 4.4.4. Has
there been any word about when 4.4.x will be moved to testing? I'm
really hesitant to introduce all the libraries that will be dragged in
if I install KDE from unstable into a production environment. I even
hesitate with testing but we are so desperate to make Kontact work with
Zimbra that we would take a chance - John

Change that in the settings:
General -> Behaviour -> Use common view properties for all folders

It gives you an address bar exactly like in Konqueror, but it is not
selected. For that you can press F6.

I'll add the info about the option and close the bug.

I see, that does look valid as it mentions an inconsistency between
Konqueror and Dolphin. Thanks.

That boils down to "it's on by default". Just go turn them off. And
the defaults do not have wobbly windows, wavy effects, or anything
shimmering. Nothing spins either, but the Alt-tab dialogue does slide.
There is plenty of transparency, though, and I hate that too. So I
turn it off.

My mother suffers from what she calls "vertigo" and the effects do not
upset her. Nor do they upset the autistics that I volunteer with. They
are merely an annoyance to those annoyed by them, nothing wild.

Do you mean between tabs? Fixed:

It works that way in KDE 4 as well, so long as you have opened them
from Krunner in the past. That is how I open all my applications.

It's Alt-F5 for the Kmenu. Has been since KDE 3 I think.


> 5. Kcontrol no longer exists.

It's called System Settings, and with the Tree menu it's very similar.
It is being reworked for KDE 4.5, so if you have any suggestions then
now is the time to make them!

You evaded the question. I cannot help when you evade the question.

Your mind really suites proprietary softwares.
