It looks like it's "back to the drawing board" here, as we don't want to make a change that makes as many users unhappy as it makes users happy.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The whole concept of the dashboard definitely needs to be improved, but just changing one thing while leaving the rest as it is won't help, so we'll get back to you guys when we have a real, thought-through plan.</p></pre>

I think it would be very healthy if the usability/vdg thought about the dashboard and plasma interaction in general.</p></pre>

Stay tuned for an official announcement once we've figured out our approach to this (I expect this to be a rather big effort if we're going to do it right).</p></pre>
