A very good set of suggestions, both of you... perhaps as a group of KDE
users we should produce a current 'wish-list' for KOffice, or any other
features of KDE2, and forward it to the development 'teams'?

Sincerely,

Sam BC

My suggestion is that they don't need to be wide enough, but the dropdowns
should work sideways - is this possible using QT?  I think that they should
also be able to be wide...there should be a choice in the toolbar
configuration.

I propose a new addition to the menubar layout, 'View, Fullscreen'.  This
will
have the behavior of pressing F11 in Internet Explorer 5.  The window will
take
up the entire screen, covering the panel, and losing the titlebar., the
viewable area of the window will then be maximized.  By default, in this
mode,
any toolbars should auto-hide, but that should be configurable as well.
What
does everyone think on this?
