           Summary: kwin menu differs from kicker menu (above others, stay
                    on top)
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: mmh gmx net


Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.2.1,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-20040311

The recent changes in the kwin menu (right click on titlebar) have lowered usability \
a lot. First of all, it is different from the kicker menu, you get when you right \
click on a kicker window entry. kwin hides the "stay on top" under advanced. Why is \
that? Then you have a renaming to "keep above others". Hmm, why not "stay on top"? 

And why is the rollup modus not in advanced? It does not serve any purpose in KDE, \
because windows are minimized to the kicker bar. No need to have titlebars hanging \
around.

Has anyone EVER used "stay below others"? Useless feature, if I ever saw one. Not \
needed even in advanced.

Therefore I suggest to resync the kicker and the kwin menues. Usse one consistent \
wording. Remove the rollup ("Fensterheber") mode or put it in advanced. Put the Stay \
on Top back in the first level.
