Hi,
- How can I get Kickoff straight to the left side, so that i can drop
my mouse there and blindly click the blue 'back-button'? Now there is a little space between the button and the left edge.
See question 2 :-)
My question had nothing to do with the placement of Kickoff on the panel, but with the Kickoff menu itself. Go to the Applications tab and click any item with sub-items. Then you see to the left the 'blue-back-bar-button'. Drop your mouse to the left edge and you can't press the 'back-button'. In the stable version of KDE - 4.3.1 - there was no space between the left edge and the Kickoff menu. My 'problem' has to do with the latest kde testing - 4.1.96 - version.
- When I open applications, they always appear is some ordered way on
the panel. In my case from left to right: Dolphin, Firefox, Kmail, Konsole. It doesn't matter which applications is started first. Can I manipulate this behavior?
They are, apparently, in alphabetical order. Do you normally quit and boot up with those applications open?
After some clicking - left and right button - on the panel I found the solution. In the latest kde version right clicking on the taskbar - the part where opened applications are - the task manager gives you a lot more options then in the previous version. Here you can choose - besides 'alphabetic' - Don't sort, Manual and Desktop.
No, I always cleanup everything before I leave my desk(top) :-)
It will always try to resume a session with open applications, and I believe alphabetical order is the default. I normally close all apps except konversation when I quit, so konversation is the only one that starts automatically, and the others appear on the task bar in the order that I open them.
All other icons, of course, can be positioned where you want them (including the Kickoff button). You'll find a description of that at http://userbase.kde.org/Configure_your_desktop#Rearrange_your_Panel
Aside - if you haven't seen it, it's also worth visiting http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/File_Management for lots of info about dolphin.
Thanks, for the links.
Lots of valuable info!
- In Kontact -> File there are two menu-items "Quit". Is there a
purpose for this? They seems to do the same.
I've never seen two. I've no idea on that one, I'm afraid.
I'm not sure if these questions belong to this list. If not can someone point me to the right place.
They're not Fedora-specific, but that's not a problem. If you use Fedora this is a natural place to ask questions.

Ah yes, forgot to mention. I use F10 + Fedora-KDE (up to date)
P.S. In Kmail the message "[<time>] Transmission for account <account> complete x new messages" is wrapped. Anyone have seen this?
