Hi all! 
 
I've had this problem for quite some time now 
and was wondering whether this was a bug on my 
system (MDK 10.0) or is this still the problem 
with KDE. In the case of the latter, I would 
love to hear when will it be fixed: 
 
1) When having desktop icons and moving them 
around their "selection frame" leaves trails 
that cannot be erased. See: 
 
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/Kde/Desktop.jpg 
 
They do eventually go away but are simply a 
nuisance and deter the overall quality of KDE 
experience. 
 
2) The second problem is similar and occurs in 
the KDE menu. When I open the KDE menu and then 
cycle through various submenus, the main menu 
leaves trails that do not get properly redrawn. 
See:

3) Is it possible to do away with the 
Windows-like selection (Tab-focus) of the 
desktop icons that use that ugly dotted frame 
(that left the trail in the first screenshot) 
and use something more like Gnome/OS X shaded 
selection which looks so much nicer? 
 
4) Finally, the icon moving is now more flexible 
(it can be moved even for just a few pixels, 
unlike before where you could not do that). 
However, when "holding" the icon, it is 
positioned completely differently than when 
releasing it back onto the desktop which results 
in having to compensate for this misalignment. 
 
When replying to this e-mail, please CC: me at

Best wishes, 
 
Ico
