All, it's been a while since I tried KDE, so yesterday I tried again and I must say I'm impressed, in fact so much that I've switched back to KDE! I even got round the issue with font sizes that was annoying me last, so it's getting better and better!
Here's a few things I noticed which I have not been able to fix/find the explanation for, and where I'd be grateful for hints/advice/RTFMs etc.: - whenever I start an xterm from the "run command" button, its working directory is ~/Documents. I have not been able to detect where this is set. It's not a setting specific to xterm, though: when I do look at 'pwdx <$pid>' for all "my" processes, the one with the lowest pid whose $cwd is ~/Documents is "kdeinit4 +kcminit_startup" which is a child of another with the same name. - I have yet to find a way to place an icon in the panel that runs any application I want on mouse-click - this used to work wonderfully in KDE3 (and one of the few things that gnome can do nicely too), so it's probably there, but I can't find it. - how can I get the middle mouse button to display a window list in the root menu? this also works wonderfully in KDE3, and is one of the reasons I still use KDE3 on my main VNC server on SWAN ...
