Exactly. *SUSE used to always have a nice search box in the stock KDE 3.5 style menu where you entered the file name and all menu options that weren't reliant went gray, and the matches remained active. A friend once found were to do that in Debian a couple years ago but neither of us have been able to find it since. It seems to have been a SUSEism. And now it's gone in the kickoff menu but still present in the slab menu. Maybe that's their way of 'encouraging' more acceptance of the slab menu. Kind of a step backwards if you ask me. Maybe I'll file a bug report and ask the developers to put it back in. They were quite amenable to retrofitting the YaST Software Management with the option to return to add more software instead of dropping one back in YaST. Now if only the T-Bird folks would let us once again collapse the big blob of wasted space in the reading pane instead of expanding the headers. Sigh. But one battle at a time. Have a great Christmas all.. ....Kevin -- Kevin Miller Juneau, Alaska http://www.alaska.net/~atftb In a recent poll, seven out of ten hard drives preferred Linux.

Ah, it it is, then the equivalent to that would be the "Run command". On mine, it opens a little dialogue box for you to type in the name, giving possible options once you've entered a few letters. Or it could be that it knows the commands I'm looking for by matching them to those it's stored in its command history. > One of the > reasons why I use the Kickoff menu mostly -- but I do like both menu > styles, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. I think it's too cumbersome, takes too much time to get to an application somewhere in the menu structure, and it uses up too much screen space for my liking. However, I can understand that a lot, and maybe even a majority, of people that use KDE like that menu style. Then again, it could be that a lot of those that use the kickoff style don't know how to switch to the classic style, and just haven't asked.
