I vote for having delete and "move to trash" in the RM pop-up. The first thing I did when I read this thread was go and enable the delete because I wondered where it had disappeared to. One option for kcontrol would be have some sort of usability level with each option - say novice, intermediate, advanced - and have a option for the user to select their level with novice being the default. That way you can have very few options for those starting off but with the user having the option to show the more advanced ones rather if they so wish - rather than someone else deciding for them. It's one of the things I like about KDE - it's defaults are pretty good overall but I do have the option of easily browsing and changing them without burying myself is some form of complete unintelligible registry. -- Regards Scott Newton >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
