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.

Yes. This was a long standing point of irritation for me; if Micro$oft could make it easy to access those system functions, then why couldn't KDE? I see the configuration options have also passed the user-discoverability test. ;-)

================================================== 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!

I don't see one offhand. I never used stock KDE3.5.10 until very recently, so I didn't even notice there was a difference! Thank you for bringing that to my attention; I will need to add a configuration option to disable it.

================================================== 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.

That is downright weird. It's probably related to the new icon resizing support, but I wonder why it has not cropped up before, or with other tasktray programs that share the same base code?

==================================================

5. The root konqueror toolbars look weird.

the

same artifacts in the Konqueror toolbars.

Can you send a screen grab of what they are supposed to look like?

================================================== I hope this helps!

It sure does!
