Second Trinity 3.5.12 Usability Test - SVN 1176205 (New Observations)

New observations with using my existing ~/.kde directory: 1. Several new icons appeared on the desktop (root and non-root). The icons were in the upper left of the desktop in a single horizontal row rather than the traditional vertical row along the left side: Web Browser My Documents My Computer Printers My Network Places There are two icons named Trash, but one was a document icon. The latter is the one representing the original Trash.desktop file in my ~/Desktop directory. I'm curious why they appeared horizontally rather than vertically. They appeared verically with a new, fresh Trinity desktop. Home was on the desktop. In 3.5.10 I see only Home and Trash. I discovered how to disable the new icons in Configure Desktop/Behavior/Device Icons. Nice touch for most users! Probably needs some documentation somewhere so new Trinity users are forewarned. :) Were those device icons added in 3.5.11 or 3.5.12? The appropriate web pages should be updated. I don't see anything on the 3.5.11 page. I presume with the new Device Icons support, that users should delete the old Trash.desktop file from ~/Desktop? Seems to work here. ================================================== 2. When I select a panel quick launch app(let) icon, or a desktop icon, the icon flashes and grows momentarily. That likely provides useful feedback for many people. I don't see anything obvious in the Panel configurations to disable. Probably will slowly drive me nuts. :) Please tell me of a way to disable that feature! ================================================== 3. Mentioned previously, but I'll include here now that things are getting fixed. The Klipper icon in the system tray is larger than the system tray. I cannot see the top or bottom part of the icon. This does not seem to be a system tray icon problem as other system tray icons look fine. Interestingly, this happens only on the root desktop and not my non-user testing desktop. I renamed the klipperrc file and started X. Same problem. Screen grab: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/images/klipper.png ================================================== 5. The root konqueror toolbars look weird. Screen grab: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/images/konq.png Update: when I created a new fresh Trinity desktop as non-user, I saw the same artifacts in the Konqueror toolbars. ================================================== I hope this helps!
