> New observations with using my existing ~/.kde directory: > 1. Several new icons appeared on the desktop (root and non-root).

Nice touch for most users! Probably needs some documentation somewhere so new Trinity users are forewarned. :) Were > those device icons added in 3.5.11 or 3.5.12? The appropriate web pages should be updated. I don't see anything on the 3.5.11 page. > I presume with the new Device Icons support, that users should delete the > old Trash.desktop file from ~/Desktop? Seems to work here. Yes. This was a long standing point of irritation for me; if Micro$oft could make it easy to access those system functions, then why couldn't KDE? I see the configuration options have also passed the user-discoverability test. ;-) > ================================================== > 2. When I select a panel quick launch app(let) icon, or a desktop icon, the icon flashes and grows momentarily. That likely provides useful feedback for many people. I don't see anything obvious in the Panel configurations to disable. Probably will slowly drive me nuts. :) Please tell me of a way to disable that feature! I don't see one offhand. I never used stock KDE3.5.10 until very recently, so I didn't even notice there was a difference! Thank you for bringing that to my attention; I will need to add a configuration option to disable it. > ================================================== > 3.

It's probably related to the new icon resizing support, but I wonder why it has not cropped up before, or with other tasktray programs that share the same base code? ================================================== > 5.
