Post the caption for "Desktop" Better yet, grab a screenshot at > step 4 and post it to the list This caption does use the term "containment". That doesn't mean "containment" is the correct term, just the current one being used. Debian packages also used the term "plasmoid" for quite a while in experimental. Often developers or translators can make these mistakes when there are two names for the same thing. (I'm not sure why the KDE project would use two names for the same thing -- it doesn't make much sense.) >Did you answer the original question when I posted it a few weeks ago? >Sure you did! I knew you could! I don't see how. I assumed by "deleted" you meant that it was no longer in the drop-down, not that you had changed your current activity type to a different activity type. If something is missing from the drop-down, I don't have the know-how to fix it since I've never run into that problem. Perhaps I could have answered your question if it were phrased differently, but I don't have time to ask every poster for clarification. I don't even have time to respond to all the posters whose questions I can answer. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
