Package: kicker Version: 4:3.1.5-1 Severity: minor When I delete my .kde and .kderc configurations, I get one in which the setting for Control Panel | Desktop | Taskbar is "show windows from all desktops".
I believe this is kicker's department; if not, please redirect appropriately. There are two problems. First, this behavior flatly contradicts the tooltip hint for that item, which says "By default, the taskbar will only show windows that are on the current desktop." At a minimum, the tip needs to be updated. Second, the actual default behavior is, I think, likely to be confusing to novices in particular, as one can get relocated to a different desktop without realizing it. (Novices probably should only have a single desktop, but that's a separate issue). Also, I don't personally like the behavior. So I changed it back. But I'm filing the bug for those that follow. The kde lists have had some recent discussion about changing the default settings for some items; perhaps this is one that got caught in the confusion. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux wheat 2.4.21advncdfs #1 Wed Sep 17 22:06:42 PDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages kicker depends on: ii kdebase-data 4:3.1.5-1 KDE Base (shared data) ii kdelibs4 4:3.1.5-1 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.6b-1 The Network Audio System (NAS).
