View 1 RepliesI'm running KDE on Fedora 13 and was trying to alter some display settings so that the windows wouldn't maximize when dragged to the edge of the screen. I did that, but at one point "Kwin" crashed, and now there's some odd things happening.
1. I get the "drag me" palm when I'm mousing over the desktop and if I click, I can drag the background around as if it were a window.
2. My "maximize" "minimize" and "close" buttons don't work.
3. It appears nothing in the titlebar of windows works: can't drag them, can't shade or do anything "clickable" -- close, min, max, nothing works.
I tried returning the settings to their original state but it didn't help.I tried restarting the computer too, and that didn't help. I'm guessing something crashed and a setting got hard set that shouldn't be. I'm also guessing that if I rename a .kde/something folder it will reset to defaults. What .kde folder should I play with?
On Fedora 14 KDE 64 there is no show desktop widget enabled by default, listed as available widgets, or listed in get hot new stuff as being available for download. How can I enable this basic functionality?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI finally dropped Gnome and am trying to put together my own custom Xclient-style desktop, with Xmonad as my WM. My question: Do any of the desktop widget systems out there support fixed, transparent overlay of the screen? My idea was something like this: I want, for example, my desktop clock widget not to be stuck in some dock taking up screen space; but instead, it would overlay the screen in one corner, with its background transparent. That way I could always see it, but it wouldn't gobble up screen space in a separate menu bar.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm always struggling with desktop space. Widgets like Folder View and the ability to use the multiple virtual desktops are very helpful for me. I found an article about the KDE Shelf widget which I would love to have as another organizational tool but I can't seem to find it.I am a bit of a newbie with KDE and with Linux in general but I have found and added many widgets with no problem. I have been using computers for about 16 years and I'm pretty tech savvy (but unfortunately my skills have all been learned through Windows and some with Mac in college).
When I go to Add Widgets and type "shelf" in the search withing openSUSE KDE I get no results. I also checked on kde-look.org and an overall Google search but I'm not having any luck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedKubuntu 10.04 x86. I've got a working triple monitor arrangement, separate X displays tied together via xinerama, which is all well and good (within the limits of xinerama, anyway; I long for the day when spanning desktop space, multiple monitors on multiple adapters, and X compositing can all live in harmony...) except for how KDE handles widgets. Love KDE, haven't had a second thought since switching from Gnome earlier this year, except for this one reach-for-the-shotgun issue.I like to have whatever I'm working on presently on my center monitor, my e-mail open on my right monitor, and various apps (torrent client, IM client, and a sort of 'status display' of arranged desktop widgets) on the left. KDE, on the other hand, does not like things this way.
KDE, it appears, has pretensions at being a GUI designer; it won't let me arrange widgets on my desktop the way I want to position them. If I put one in the top left corner, it'll snap into place. OK, fine; if I put another widget right below that first one, it automatically indents both of them, usually one in further than the other. Adding additional widgets to the arrangement usually but not always causes KDE to keep indenting - it's not stair-step bad, but it's obvious things don't line up which makes it visually distracting. It seemingly-randomly decides that I can't put a widget in a particular location on the screen and snaps it back to the size and location it was in when it first appeared on the screen (or before I moved it, if it was already there). It's not an overlap-detection problem; sometimes it's perfectly OK with me overlapping widgets, sometimes it won't even allow widgets to be within some apparently-randomly-chosen number of pixels of one or more of the widgets already on-screen. Sometimes it'll regard an aligned cluster of widgets as a single entity and snap to edges... with no rhyme or reason as to which clusters and which edges. When working with widgets in close proximity to each other, the 'edge-bars' that contain the buttons with which one can drag and manipulate the widgets; again, with little-to-no discernible pattern, sometimes they appear over the widget next to it, sometimes underneath the widget next to it (making the edge-bar completely useless), sometimes clicking the widget brings its edge-bar to the foreground, sometimes the widget needs to be dragged to a different part of the desktop or a different monitor then re-positioned in the cluster for the edge-bar to be in the foreground, sometimes the widget has to be removed and re-added to get the edge-bar into the foreground. When I rebooted just now, my widgets were randomly scattered across the desktop, despite having had "Lock Widgets" turned on throughout (since a few days ago, actually; the last time I had to re-re-re-rearrange things).Basically, from what I can tell from several months of observation, KDE has some sort of automatic widget arranging 'feature' which a) doesn't work properly and b) has no bloody off switch. All this makes what should be the simple, five-minute task of resizing and lining up some widgets by hand into an hour-long test of the elasticity of my vascular system. I'm fine with there being new or experimental or even buggy features in my GUI... so long as I can turn them off when I need to.
I've done the requisite googling and have come up empty. I've looked everywhere in the GUI I can think of, but no luck. I don't yet know enough about KDE to know where to look in the conf files to hack around it by hand. Could someone please tell me how to dike out or simply turn off this blitheringly-stupid widget auto-positioning drunken &*#^$*@#%$^&% wart so that I, the human, can put things where I want them on the screen?It's also baffling that I can only resize a Plasma widget up and away from its edge-bar when most every other window in most every other environment I've ever seen, including KDE, will let you resize by dragging any border in any direction. Big. Step. Backward. If anybody knows a way to fix this I would be most interested in hearing it, but I'll make do if given a way to turn off what I've come to think of as KDE's "layout critic mode".
