Hi again Andre,
You're really doing a great work! (only judged by screenshots). The area I
personally think needs more work in KDE is on polishing. I really appreciate
small improvements like this only, it makes the whole experience much much
better.
I really wish I had more time, these kind of jobs seem like a good
introduction to KDE programming. Oh well, now back to topic.

When I saw the screenshots I was going to suggest this. In my opinion the
button belongs to a configuration dialog. I was thinking why it was there,
and not only in the right-click menu, and I think I have an answer:
discoverability. Yeah, actually you don't have to right click to bring up
the configure dialog which I thought first.
I don't know if that's a good reason though, personally I would just access
the action from the right click menu.
With best regards,
Hans Chen
