If that is indeed why it is there, then i think it should go away, especi=
ally
since the developer could then use the bookmark feature (if they always
use the same username that is)

I agree, i never even considered removing the temporary files, but instea=
d
trying to figure out how to make the item more user friendly.

I think the documents one should either point to a different folder, or
go away. Redundancy is generally not a good thing, especially not when yo=
u
have 2 buttons right next to eachother doing the exact same thing.

And i agree about the network. I assumed that i got that message because
i never set the network settings in kcontrol? In that case i think it sho=

fail graciously and maybe just show a message that this setting is either=

not available or not configured, possibly in the file area instead of in
a dialog.
