She raises many interesting points although I don't think all recommendatio=
ns=20
are that great. (Auto-disapearing menu-options? *yuck*) On the bright side,=
=20
we can pick the ones we do like :-)

Some random picks/comments:

1) KDesktop -> RMB on Icon -> Open in New Window
This is copied from Konqy (hurrah for code sharing) but makes indeed little=
=20
sense in this context. Should just be "Open" (David, is that hard to change=
=20
for kdesktop only?)

2) KDesktop -> RMB on Icon -> Open With
Should be a submenu with a list of suitable applications (we know the=20
mimemtype!) and then as a seperate entry the open-with-dialog.
(I can do that :-)

3) Kicker: smooth icon zooming.
Hey, it used to suck much more! I think it's usefull if you have a small=20
panel. With the default size the use is limited. I agree with the assertion=
=20
that it is a cheap MacOSX knock off but I really wonder whether we should=20
waste CPU cycles on making the zooming more smooth.

4) Toolbar / Konqy
"Bug report time: If you remove the "Font sizes" toolbar from Konqueror and=
=20
then you add it back in on the main toolbar, the two font size-related icon=
s=20
are not visible anymore and you will need to restart Konqueror to get them=
=20
back (this does not happen with other icons/toolbars). I saw there is a bug=
=20
report for it on the KDE bug database, for months now... "

Is this about the "Font sizes" _icon_? I can't get rid of that icon at all.=
=20
Could it be that this is related to the merging of the main-part and kparts=
=20
toolbars and the toolbar editor only knowing about the main-part?

5) File dialog
Aaron is working on that already. We really need a collapsable QSplitter bt=
w,=20
has someone begged the trolls for that already? Shouldn't be too hard to ha=
ck=20
that into Qt itself, no?

Cheers,
Waldo
