This is the inverse of what I would expect. I don't imagine this is too much help to you, but I can't reproduce this behavior. I'm using the experimental 3.0.1 debs. I selected the "Active Desktop Borders: Only when moving windows" option in the Window Behavior control module--this sounds like the same thing you did. When I drag a window (using its titlebar) from desktop 1 to the right, it moves to desktop 2 (as the pager layout would cause me to expect). > Likewise, mapping the desktop switching shortcuts has the same behaviour.

Yep, that's a typo/senior_moment or whatever. I have been running Woody (testing) for a while and installed Sid (unstable) to "test" KDE3 among other things, on another partition. I guess I had "testing" on my mind. Everything compiled and is working great now, with some minor details to attend to. I'm compiling garnome-0.9.5 now- its a shame to have my computer idle ;) all the best, Robert_L ps. glad there were no health reprecussions.

This is the inverse of what I would expect. How do you do this? I tried the obvious way of just dragging the box with the mouse off to one side or other and it didn't show up on any other workspace. > Likewise, mapping the desktop switching shortcuts has the same behaviour. > > Is there any way to make kpager stop acting in such a daft manner? Probably need to contact upstream to fix the bugs with the dragging and shortcuts, I think they like the new ordering though.

KDE3 Logout
Hi! I have seen in other distros such as mdk or gentoo that, when logout you get a menu: Logout, Reboot, Shutdown. With Debian I only get the logout option, I have compiled my own KDE3, and I haven't seen any option for this. I am unable to run KDM, when running simply as root with kdm takes no effect, this is since I remove kdm form 2.2.2 Thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

More on kpager weirdness + logout issue
OK, I've done some more testing, and the pager starts out OK, but after a number of changes to the system it freaks out. I'm not quite sure what causes it, or if it happens every time. The things I'm doing are: starting kpager configuring kpager: classical, no background, icon Look-and-feel: Background: Wallpaper: No wallpaper Colors: Atlas green Panel: Position: Top Hiding: Enable automatic hide Delay 1 sec Shortcuts: Switch one desktop down: Alt+Ctrl+Down etc, etc Window Behaviour: Focus: Focus follows mouse Advanced: Active Desktop Borders: Only when moving windows I also turn off the panel pager (which IMHO is a complete waste of space). Log out, log in, and hey presto it no longer works. I've yet to determine if this is reproducable. Speaking of lgging out: It seems that if kpager is running I have to request logout twice. First time kpager dies, the second time the wm actually shuts down. The one overwhelming impression I get (given that kpager crashes on startup in 2.2) is that it isn't the best piece of software in the world. Oh well, back to doing more testing.

[KDE3] KPager/workspace weirdness
I've just started using KDE properly, but encountered something weird. For some odd reason kpager lists the desktops in the wrong order. Currently they are like this: 1 2 3 4 Which is fine in itself. However, using the option to drag a window to a different workspace (not using kpager) has some interesting results: Dragging a window from workspace 1 off the right hand edge makes it end up in workspace 3, and dragging it from 1 off the bottom edge makes it appear on workspace 2. This is the inverse of what I would expect. Likewise, mapping the desktop switching shortcuts has the same behaviour. Is there any way to make kpager stop acting in such a daft manner?
