It's very easy to remove (one click) for people who don't want the folderview but it's the least surprising to new users (both to kde 4.7 and from "the other side"). > 3. (kevin's favorite. :) ) use folderview *layout*, full screen, aka like kde3 times. Using the folderview layout doesn't seem to work all that well with adding other widgets and although i found the option to change the layout fairly quickly it is not entirely obvious to new users that they need to change that setting just to make widgets work smoothly. That might cause quite a bit of confusion since plasma widgets are advertised as quite a major feature of kde. As for the whole facebook vs google+ discussion i don't think either are a particularly great idea. I hate facebook and it's invisible to anybody without an account. Google+ seems a lot better on both counts but sadly since it is still invitation only many people still can't use it properly (myself included). -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't... _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
