--- Comment #28 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- JFYI insulting the developers is not generally an effective way to get them to do what you want. ;) I understand your concern that removing this feature from the UI has made it more difficult for you to provide curated experiences for your different technical classes of user. Our explicit goal was in fact to implement this model more naturally, via a global edit mode. It was intended that when not in the global edit mode, users would be prevented from accidentally destroying their desktop, because they would need to enter the global edit mode. However I think I see the problem: you can still remove a widget using the context menu. Our model of user behavior was that non-technical users don't tend to right-click much, so preserving the ability to delete widgets using the context menu outside of the edit mode was okay as it would mostly be used as an accelerator for experts. Perhaps this was a flawed assumption, and we should revisit that to remove all widget deletion options from the context menu when not in the global edit mode. This would more or less get you back to where you were before: the widgets look immutable to non-technical users who will not figure out how to enter the global edit mode, or do it by accident. While more advanced users will be able to enter the global edit mode easily to customize their systems. How does that sound? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
