Description of problem: With the new menu layout introduced by new kde-settings we have two entries for kcontrol now: 1. K-Menu -> Control Center 2. K-Menu -> (Actions) -> Settings -> Control Center I think it would be better to move kcontrol to "K-Menu -> Settings" (the normal submenu, no the one in "Actions"). So we don't have a double entry for kcontrol in the top menu. But if someone disable "Actions" there's still a menu entry for it.
It seems the kde-settings removes/changes many KDE settings after splitting! here in this case, 2 actions "Settings", "System menu". For sane KDE default setting, we should not overload the main menu (K-menu). The main menu should keep clearly. ATM we have 2 Settings in the main menu, it's confusing! We should drop the 2 actions, "Settings", "System menu" from k-menu. It looks clearly like in RHEL5/FC6.
> It seems the kde-settings removes/changes many KDE settings after splitting! It shouldn't, we're still using exactly the same (upstream) kde applications.menu. ?? Where does Actions come from anyway?
Hrm, Actions appeared somewhere between kde-settings-3.5-21 and kde-settings-3.5-28
it's not kde applications.menu. it's in /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kickerrc And it's not the same like before the splitting, the complete [menus] group, which i made for FC6/RHEL5, has been removed in kde-settings!
we should be carefull about the default setting.
Ah, (not as intuitive as it could be) but I found it: kicker optional menus -> Actions So, the suggestion is to have [menus] Extentions= ?
I agree with Than, this should be reset to as it was in FC6, I wonder if this will pass rel-eng for f7-final tagging or if it will have to go to updates.
yes, it's what i have mean on Comment #4. Why have you removed it? The current kickerrc in kde-settings (ConfigFile) looks broken. The cut-out of kickerc. ... Applet_1] ConfigFile=minipager_panelapplet_3jzzezfmf3tmhozral91_rc DesktopFile=minipagerapplet.desktop FreeSpace=0.4 FreeSpace2=0.09 WidthForHeightHint=161 [Applet_2] ConfigFile=taskbar_panelapplet_khc8z2lx7dmaulh9iuty_rc DesktopFile=taskbarapplet.desktop FreeSpace=0.4 FreeSpace2=0.09 WidthForHeightHint=210 ... the kde-setting really needs to be cleaned up. I plan to do it next week.
Kevin, it's probably too late to revert the change, but i will try to do this. if it won't pass rel-eng for f7-final, we can add it in f7 update,
> yes... Why have you removed it? I have no strong feelings one way or the other, I just personally liked it better, that's all, and that's what kde-redhat packaging had been using... > the kde-setting really needs to be cleaned up. I plan to do it next week. Excellent, more than kickerrc? If so, what did you have in mind?
FYI, it's not up to date with the latest kde-settings, but I've done diffs between the previous Fedora KDE settings and the kde-settings ones on May 15: http://repo.calcforge.org/f7/
Thanks Kevin.
I believe most/all of the suggests here have been incorporated in the latest kde-settings (though it's difficult to tell sometimes from the cryptic cvs commit comments... hint hint). :)
