Re: KDE 4.1 Desktop, folder view, panel and widget tips and tricks thread.

Once I rented a small Cessna C152 from a company at the airport.

I have many many hours in many types of aircraft!

I had a problem with the C152 at this particular company.

The instructors at the company recommended I get an additional checkout to learn how to "run" this C152.  I refused! Insanity!

They finally woke up when the mechanic was flying the aircraft and lost the engine!

I am NOT going to the KDE site and reading anything!

I haven't so far and I will not!

A desktop should be a intuitive measure and KDE has been up until now!

The image from "2001" is classic. It's said to be the only joke
in the
movie.

There's a fascinating book by Donald Norman called "The Design of
Everyday Things" which looks at how non-obvious many "obvious"
things
are (e.g. hot and cold taps, light switches etc. in the US vs. Europe).
