I guess I was too young in those days to remember :) i defy any of the people on this list who feel that KDE should mimic windows to provide familiarity to justify keeping this misfeature around because Windows continues to have it.[1] please, i'd love to hear how staying consistent with windows in this case makes KDE better. or how diverging from it in this case makes it worse. this is an obvious case of what is good usability versus doing something like windows. if you can't justify keeping _this_ mis-behaviour, please extrapolate that to other usability issues in KDE. [1] i know that isn't what you were saying Matt, i'm just a little peeved at the "windows way or the highway!" sentiment on this list ATM. - -- Aaron J.
