hmm, if that’s the case, the widget porters should have filed those when
releasing their ports.

nobody knows better than them what they left out, and now it’s up to the
users to find and report them :/

other stuff is simply a design question: per-activity settings were
something implemented per individual KCM. are they being centralized or are
they simply gone? people who know such things could post them in e.g.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340652 to make us suck less.

people, seriously?

you might notice that i posted a bugzilla link for everything but one item.
why do you feel the need to tell *me* (who obviously has done his homework)
that knee-jerk response even if it doesn’t apply to me?


 Icon-only task manager has no option to open new instances via middle click.

yeah. when i tried it, it wasn’t implemented, so naturally i yearned for
the thing i was used to: middle click. shift-click is more consistent, but
i use the task bar more often to start new instances than to close them.

well, i’ll have to live with having to use two hands for that now.


 No simple launcher plasmoid for one application.

oh! so intuitive for everyone but people who spent too much time with the
taskbar to try new things (this isn’t meant sarcastically, i really like it
☺)

i bet i’d have discovered that if it wasn’t KDE but something i don’t use
daily

Best, Philipp
