Constructive feedback from Eugenia

[Waldo Bastian]

For your reading pleasure: http::/osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1347

She raises many interesting points although I don't think all recommendations 
are that great. (Auto-disapearing menu-options? *yuck*) On the bright side, 
we can pick the ones we do like :-)

Some random picks/comments:

1) KDesktop -> RMB on Icon -> Open in New Window
This is copied from Konqy (hurrah for code sharing) but makes indeed little 
sense in this context. Should just be "Open" (David, is that hard to change 
for kdesktop only?)

2) KDesktop -> RMB on Icon -> Open With
Should be a submenu with a list of suitable applications (we know the 
mimemtype!) and then as a seperate entry the open-with-dialog.
(I can do that :-)

3) Kicker: smooth icon zooming.
Hey, it used to suck much more! I think it's usefull if you have a small 
panel. With the default size the use is limited. I agree with the assertion 
that it is a cheap MacOSX knock off but I really wonder whether we should 
waste CPU cycles on making the zooming more smooth.

4) Toolbar / Konqy
"Bug report time: If you remove the "Font sizes" toolbar from Konqueror and 
then you add it back in on the main toolbar, the two font size-related icons 
are not visible anymore and you will need to restart Konqueror to get them 
back (this does not happen with other icons/toolbars). I saw there is a bug 
report for it on the KDE bug database, for months now... "

Is this about the "Font sizes" _icon_? I can't get rid of that icon at all. 
Could it be that this is related to the merging of the main-part and kparts 
toolbars and the toolbar editor only knowing about the main-part?

5) File dialog
Aaron is working on that already. We really need a collapsable QSplitter btw, 
has someone begged the trolls for that already? Shouldn't be too hard to hack 
that into Qt itself, no?

Cheers,
Waldo
