Hi Pupeno, Sarang, Jeff!

Are you reading our mailing list? I haven't seen any comments from any of
you to Gunnar's mail to the list:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-accessibility&m=104893825317128&w=2

I agree very much with Gunnar's suggestions.


Regarding kmousetool:

Jeff, there is now a freedesktop.org specification for system tray
applications, so that systray applications can work under both KDE 3.1
and Gnome.

http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/systemtray/systemtray-spec.html

I think it would be really great if you could use this. The systray icon
could have a menu containing "Start/Stop", "Configure" and "Quit".
Calling kmousetool from the command line should open both the configure
dialog and start the systray application.


Regarding kmag:

It would be nice if kmag would use an optional menu as described in the
KDE style guide:

http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/index.html

Then it would be possible to put less buttons into the toolbar, making it
easier to handle. A context menu for kmag might also be a good idea.


How long do you think will it take to implement all of this?

Olaf.
