I totally agree with this point. Based on that, I think if skim ships an applet with it in order to achieve the "docking/embedded" feature, it should not ask the user to add the applet themselves: the applet should be taken care all by skim. Unfortunately, although I can add an applet to kicker via DCOP call, I can not remove it when it is not required anymore. -- "People's characters are strengthened through struggle against difficulties; they are weakened by comfort." - Old Chinese adage >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
