I just thought I'd move this to it's own thread. I think it's good to think
about for R14, and more obvious when not used to hijack another thread ;-)

I could never figure out the whole plasmoid thing. The whole description of
plasmoid and the difference between widgets and actual desktop elements got

I was just presenting that fact. They are users, and so we need to
listen to them. They are not biased either way and are interested in
trinity, but that was an interesting point I thought they made.
I think that maybe we need to review our kcontrol mechanism and make
sure all configuration settings are in appropriate spots.
Eg, should keyboard shortcuts be under Regional & Accessibility
Eg. should our compositor have it's own module? it's quite hard to
find under "Window Behavior"
I think we can at least make some things more intuitive.
Calvin Morrison Hey sort
of on/off topic..
Today I was discussing the trinity project with some fellows who share
a lab at Drexel.
One thing two of them mentioned about KDE3.5 that while you can
configure everything, it often is hard to find where the setting is.
They said they liked kde4 not for the widgets, just because it was
easy to customize.
Just a thought
Calvin
I had the exact opposite reaction--I found KDE4 extremely difficult to
customize, unless they were just referring to adding plasoids and changing
the wallpaper. ;-)
