Re: KDE backgrounds and quick launcher

Hi,
Yes, I am running the latest.  I just did a yum update and rebooted
(just in case). I have the same issue.
IMAO it was fixed here, when I setup the wallpapper for one time manually. Open ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc with your favorized text edit. Seek a section with a line "wallpaper=" in it. Set behind the equal sign the path to the wallpaper you want to have. After plasma is restarted the wallpaper should be shown. If I remember correctly it was possible to use the GUI to change the wallpaper the next time. (might be an update also!).
Also KDE used to be able to
set the background for each work space (desktop) separately, I don't
see that option any more.  That option and many more is why I prefer
KDE over Gnome.
Sadly not possible yet (at least via the GUI, might be a way using text files??). However, I guess that it will come back pretty soon.
No quick launcher ... guess I will have to modify the mouse to have a
pull down from the left most button so I can sort of have one ;)
ALT+F2 or the kick-off menu might be an fast alternative. If you unlock widgets, your can put icons on the desktop also. And finally there is a quicklaunch applet:

However, the last time I looked at, it was still quite buggy. I also didn't find a way to create a rpm out of it. But maybe you get it compiled. If KDE 4.1 is released and the manage the new syndication, it might be pretty easy to install via knewstuff2.

Best regards,
Florian
