That's quite true, and I agree that the implementation of that suggestion would not be trivial. I had intended to do the work and submit a proposed patch myself, but thought to first test the water by putting in the suggestion via the bugs database. The response told me that there would probably have been no point in continuing further. (This is not personal pique at being rejected, even if it may sound that way - merely an attempt to find out the correct route by which ideas and suggestions ought to be submitted for discussion). -- Jonathan Marten http://www.keelhaul.demon.co.uk Twickenham, UK jjm@keelhaul.demon.co.uk _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
