I think the menu system is just there so one can see what's available. If you know what you want to start, use KRunner instead. That is, hit Alt-F2, and enter the name of the application. You don't even have to type the full name, although in case of k3b the name is so short that you have to. If you only type 'k3' KRunner offers conversion of 3 Kelvin to degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit :-) So KRunner does not only allow to start applications, but also to find files, by name or by content when they have been indexed by Nepomuk. Or emails, open windows and documents. Or audio files. It does calculations, converts units, and much more. Have a look at: http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Krunner > So I suspect you are 200% correct.

But why can't you open a new account then... strange. You probably should file a bug report... oh, whoops! And I assume resetting the password also does not work? What about creating a new accocunt with a different email address? --------------------------------snip----------------------------------- Hi, In the past you have registered on http://bugs.kde.org. This could be as a user to report a bug or crash within a KDE application or maybe you have registered as a contributor or developer for KDE software. We have recently installed a new update of the bugzilla software and we would like to ask you to reactivate your account. This can be done in one simple step: login on the http://bugs.kde.org site. Your username is the email address we have sent this email to. If you don't reactivate your account before March 30th we will block your account from logging in until the password reset feature is used to set a new password. Sorry for the trouble, but we hope you will enjoy the upgrade. Best, KDE Sysadmin --------------------------------snap----------------------------------- Wonko ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
