Thanks, I really believe KDE is great, but some areas needs some
polishing for sure.
That's what I am trying to do, what bothers me most I am trying to fix :).

Actually the option is there because it was already there in the old
config dialog, so I didn't remove any option, just rearrange them.
But I believe the option ONLY in the right click menu is not a good
thing because, someone may want to use KDE in touchscreen devices that
don't have the right-click menu concept, so there will be no way to
shuffle the pieces.
The right thing to do would be to put it somewhere in the puzzle
widget itself, but I am not an artist, and I can't find a way to do it
without making it really "ugly" :)
