Could you define: Quick Launch Menu in more detail. I searched google
for "Quick Launch Menu" and kde3 and got nothing. I have heard the
term but have no idea what it really is. It sounds like some kind of
drop down menu with a selection list. How would I get one?
Is it part of the KSmoothDock app?
I my case I just put icons up on the toolbar panel and click on them there.

Re: For
example, after configuring Kate with the --use
parameter
Exactly where and how (any quotes, etc) did you set the
--use
parameter for Kate.
Tell me that and I will experiment and see if I have the
same problem.
Let's see whether I can describe the scenario correctly. :)
I have a kate shortcut button in my quick launch menu. The parameters:
kate --use %u
I don't like editing *.desktop files in $PREFIX (/usr, /opt/trinity, etc.) because a
subsequent package update will overwrite those files and my modifications. Therefore long
ago I got into the habit of using $KDEDIRS, which for me is located in my /usr/local
partition. In my $KDEDIRS kate.desktop:
Exec=kate --use %U
Okay, now that I pasted that, I see my quick launch button uses a lower case %u and my
$KDEDIRS kate.desktop uses an upper case %U. Hmm. Does that make any difference? I
don't know --- I'll look into that.
Back to the discussion.
I have my Focus stealing prevention level set to Low (KControl, Desktop, Window Behavior,
Advanced tab.)
Open kate any which way. Open a text file.
Then in Konqueror, find another text file and open the file in kate.
Does kate pop forward? Does kate have the focus?
When I temporarily change my Focus stealing prevention level to None, which raises havoc
with other desktop usage, then kate will pop forward but will not have the focus.
Just to be sure we are using terms the same, focus means the title bar is highlighted
with the user's selected color and not grayed.
Let me know how things behave on your system. I'll be happy to hear you have none of
those problems. That would mean something awry with my configuration.
