'Tis the
little things that often affect us most. :)
Aye no problem!
Mostly I am annoyed now at Konsole and Konq. I have to look
at those still.
I'm looking forward to those patches too! :) I had my subconscious jarred that way
yesterday. I wanted to scroll a Konq file list and did not notice the mouse pointer was
hovering over the tab bar. I had about a half dozen tabs open and the effect is like a
ruffed grouse taking off to flight. If you never heard the bird take off, the effect is
pretty much like a machine gun, their wings beat that hard and fast. Almost always
startles a person, even people seasoned with being in the woods.
For me the effect of this kind of automated cycling is always, "WTF! Now where the
hell was I?" Takes me a few seconds to reorient my mind at what I was doing. :)
These kinds of things is why I believe most software is designed by geeks to be used by
geeks and tested only by geeks. If this stuff was in a real test lab with non geek users
the marketing people would scream. Geeks think that kind of thing is "So freakin'
kewl." Non geeks think this stuff is "So freakin' NOT kewl." :)
Oh well. I'll get off my soap box.
