Gee, how didn't I think of it, it's so evident. Right under Appearance Settings... Desktop Activity!!! And the default was "Desktop"! What does "Desktop Activity" have to do with showing or not the Desktop folder in a Window and why should I have changed the Desktop activity from "Desktop" ? And that's after: Jul 19 19:54:22 Updated: kdebase-workspace-libs-4.2.4-5.fc11.x86_64 Jul 19 19:54:27 Updated: kdebase-workspace-4.2.4-5.fc11.x86_64 Jul 29 14:19:09 Updated: 6:kdelibs-common-4.2.4-6.fc11.x86_64 Jul 29 14:19:16 Updated: kdelibs3-3.5.10-13.fc11.x86_64 Jul 29 14:19:21 Updated: 6:kdelibs-4.2.4-6.fc11.x86_64 God knows how this worked before. Now, right away, comes the next question. How do I get rid of backup files. Filtering *~ or ~ does not filter them out. Another research? How many searches in the end? To tell you the truth, for me, it's going to be too late anyways now to get back to KDE. Not only Compiz doesn't work, even when I click on the titre bar, it still maximises, minimises instead of shading. I'd have to replace icons to start programs. In Firefox, the underlining of misspelled words is almost invisible. With the default theme, Oxygen, the lines on the title bar vanish as they get towards the right. It gives the impression that it's because there's a focus problem to the right. Etc. In other words, I'd have to reconfigure the whole thing before I can use it and this takes time... and, for GNOME, it's done. Who knows, maybe GNOME too will make the same kind of silly decisions and ship out the product before it's ready. Switching back to KDE would then make sense. I insist. Before a software is released, tests should be made with auntie, the kids at a nearby school, etc. Of course, those are only my 2¢. OTOH, KDE does seem a bit faster. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
