I'm not sure I like your idea. It's only a part of the proposal...but of course first a dialog should ask if the user wants it. > And, btw, how does your grandma feels when she discovers a menu entry > changed it's place?

She too (K-menu list), but IMO it seems that this is because it's not clear enough to her that this list isn't a part of the static things. I think the problem is that it's not clear that this is something else. IMO there are 2 solutions to solve this: 1) Switch it off and loose functionallity like you said. (Gnome style of doing things) 2) Solve the problem that it isn't clear that it's something else. I prefer the last solution :) > How would your proposal eliminate the "my menu changed w/o telling me" > problem? It is one of the most common problems I know now.

Like I said above, I think this can be solved by making the difference between static and dynamic menus clear. Also the dynamic menu proposal for MIME types will change several x times less than the recent apps list. - -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/NjkuK+G8aHNHCSMRAj8zAJ9KCShGp+lBLO3qg6DkU3jRwMbTagCdG/rj 1lx0BaqsJlChGdlK48Gi9HA= =Qmso -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
