Package: kicker Version: 4:3.2.1-1 Severity: minor
Icons copied to the kicker toolbar show a name or description on mouseover -- but only if the file has the .desktop extension. So for instance if you have mozilla firefox, mouseover will show the full pathname unless the file ~.kde/share/apps/kicker/Firefox has the .desktop extension. As normal usage is to populate kicker by dragging files from the desktop, and these desktop icons often don't have the .desktop extension, mouseover often ends up showing the full pathname. I don't see any reason to keep this behavior; files in ~.kde/share/apps/kicker are .desktop files by default and it would be nice to have the icons honor the name when the user enters a name in the Properties | Application menu. This is a good example of a bug that is completely opaque to a newbie, and makes the interface seem geeky -- why would an icon show the whole path? What would be useful is if the whole path could show inside the Properties dialogue -- that's where the user could learn how the system works. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kicker depends on: ii kdebase-data 4:3.2.1-1 KDE Base (shared data) ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.1-1 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.6.10-6 client library to control the FAM hi libgcc1 1:3.3.3-1 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0-5 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkonq4 4:3.2.1-1 Core libraries for KDE's file mana ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-4 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0-5 X Window System Session Management hi libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0-5 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0-5 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxtst6 4.3.0-5 X Window System event recording an ii xlibs 4.3.0-5 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
