Hi Hackers!

First I must say that you all are doing a great job. KDE2 is really looking
great.
You are trying to make KDE2 as user friendly as possibel, right?
Well I have noticed something that I do not find very user friendly.
It has to do with the panel "Kicker" and the plugin that shows the different
programs that are running at the moment. For an example have a look at this
screenshot:

http://www.mosfet.org/mydesktop.gif

Each button has the icon for the program. After that you have the name of
the program running. This is OK. But have a look at the button for The
Advanced Editor. It says: "file:/usr/mosfet/we..."  . What is the name of
the document that is being edited?
Wouldn't it be easier if is showed: "...webpage/index.html"?

If you are editing many webpages, but with different names, at the same time
the buttons would all look the same: "file:/usr/mosfet/we..." . To me this
is very confusing and time consuming. To find the right window an switch to
it, you have to click through all the buttons one by one to finally find the
window you wanted.

This shure this does not only apply for The Advanced Editor.
My suggestion is to make an option i Kickers setup in which way you want to
display text on the buttons.
