Description Andreas Beckermann 2005-09-28 16:35:06 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The options dialog is deeply hidden in the game: it can be accessed using menu->settings->configure boson only. And furthermore only once the game is started.

Having the options dialog there may be the default way for kde programs (or desktop applications in general), but it is not the default way for games. As a user I'd expect it as a button on the welcome widget.

This is very important, as e.g. some for some graphic cards boson runs slow as hell, unless a different resolution is chosen, or some features are disabled.
However if we need to start a game first, then it may be very hard to get to the menu, as the whole repainting may be extremely slow already, making entering the menu hard.
