Nevertheless we offer the possibility to change the
sane
defaults to something
else for advanced users like yourself so that you can use
e.g. a centered
placement strategy.
"Sane" according to whom? What might seem "sane" to you is not always
"sane" to others.
I quite agree. That's why centered is *not* a
useful
placement strategy. It
requires users to move their windows to have it useable.
This is the worst
thing which could happen.
Not really. I have used Centered for years. Here is a difference: I configure most apps to
open maximized. Those few that I open in non-maximized mode typically get opened for a few
moments and then closed. So for me, Centered is useful.
Furthermore I have the complete confidence of our bug
tracking software. We
have millions of users reporting hundred of bug reports
each year to multiple
parts of our window manager. But reports to the placement
strategy? Feature
requests? Hardly any. I am involved in multiple KDE related
support areas
watching for window manager related topics: nothing about
placement.
When people have an option to change a default they do just that. There is no
"bug" to report.
sorry, what a bullsh*** I cannot tell you how arrogant
I
find this statement.
It's this complete utter non-sense I have seen here more
than once on this
list and elsewhere with the opinion that KDE developers are
all assholes not
caring about their users. It's such a stupid thing to think
that KDE
developers pretend to "know better". Such nonsense makes me
really angry and I
really have to think about whether I want to continue to
offer my help to the
Trinity project.
Where did I write "KDE developers"? I wrote "developers." That you
jumped to this conclusion is interesting.
Regarding your help with the Trinity project, please point me to anything that you have
contributed. Not to KDE3 but to Trinity.
*sigh* Ego is never a reason why something is the
default.
Really? Never?
And yes if you
write that you consider ego as a reason for defaults, I
consider this as an
insult (I have not been involved when the default for this
option has been
set) and are convinced that you consider KDE developers to
be stupid as you
quite nicely highlighted with various side notes in your
mail.
Where did I call KDE developers stupid? Which side notes? I have disagreed with some of
their decisions, but I ask you to show me where I called the people stupid.
I would appreciate if you could use a constructive
manner
to discuss and I
think you should appoligize towards the KDE developers you
insulted in your
mail, e.g. the quite nice Kate developers who I know
personally.
Please show me the insults I made to KDE developers.
