patch
ad.1) I am all for this ad.2) already reported https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164816 this is ksmserver bug (there is an error in this report, because it is SS isue, not KControl), changing settings in SS does not change the labels and icons accordingly ad.3) this is (2) case I use binary SVN and due to lack of space I am unable to recompile KDE on my own, but if your patch changes label & icon according to ksmserver settings then it is great. The real solution would be to drop ksmserver options completely and add the ability to: a) customize lock/logout plasmoid -- reported https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164687 b) customize desktop context menu -- reported https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164817 c) customize fully KMenu -- reported :-) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162469 so i've unfortunately just wasted another 15 minutes on this issue going through each issue noted in this bug report. i probably should have just clicked "WONTFIX" right away as this is really just the old bug report warmed over and resubmitted; but i did go through all the "problem" spots noted in the report. and every single one of them is exactly how we want it right now. the "Leave" idea is used at top level items so people know it's not *only* about logging out, and it's only once they drill down (which is something the kickoff menu lets you do) that we get more specific (and use, e.g., the logout icon and term) as for the lock/logout applet .. i figured the *name* of it would be the offense, not the icon used. in any case, the principle here is to not concentrate on the *literal* meaning of the icon, but the context and user tasks being attempted where it appears. > the "Leave" idea is used at top level items so people know it's not *only* > about logging out, and it's only once they drill down (which is something > the kickoff menu lets you do) that we get more specific (and use, e.g., the > logout icon and term) I've understand it, "leave" with his icon should behave the same on both kickoff and right mouse button, or am I wrong? > as for the lock/logout applet .. i figured the *name* of it would be the > offense, not the icon used. So do you mean that it is better to change the name to "lock/leave"? ... well, maybe the name could be "improved" when the widget itself will be improved (about adding options ecc). But it will be done after 4.1, so I've suggested to "fix" temporary it :-) > in any case, the principle here is to not concentrate on the *literal* > meaning of the icon, but the context and user tasks being attempted where > it appears. Right, I can agree this, but about the label "leave" on the rmb for example, it is write "leave", but the action called is logout (with the confirmation dialog off). I've wanted to put all this issues on the same report for watching them togheter. The idea was to save some time for avoid to look on a lot of old reports :-( Anyway thanks for your clear answer :-) bye! |
