I use Krusader, which employs Fish very effectively. I am very impressed with Thunar, the work of 1 man, Bernard Meurer (it doesn't do Fish AFAIK, but more abilities are promised). > A minor gripe with Konsole is it not remembering the "Show in Menu" > setting for profiles. Makes working with several custom profiles a pain. Yes, that's another for my long list of complaints. I have 4 Konsoles running, ordinary user, root, Mutt & Lynx: each needs a different profile to get the correct colors & app restarted, but I couldn't find out how to set up the profiles to achieve this. > using plasmoids on the desktop, dock "Show Plasmoids Desktop" plasmoid. > Basically one click and you have access to all your plasmoids. > Almost as good as the Mac I didn't get as far as plasmoids & it's many years since I used a Mac. > One trick is place the CPU monitor plasmoid on the R edge of my screen, > then leave c 0,5 in uncovered by windows to see the processor load. I have Gkrellm running on Desktop 8 , which shows that very clearly. I plan to remerge the 4.2.1 pkgs with USE="kdeprefix", then test it a bit further to see how far I can fix its ugliness; I didn't try out Kate or Konqueror yesterday, mb Okular cb set up better. I've always been impressed by the KDE developers, esp with 3.5.x , & hope they will steadily restore its choices & taste by 4.3 or 4.4 . Perhaps KDE is now where Xfce was with its 4.2 (2004: now 4.6). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
