Description David Johnson 2008-07-13 02:05:45 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD] 
OS:                FreeBSD

There is insufficient information about the "Runners" in the KRunner Settings. (Are "Runners" plugins? I think so, but am not sure). Each "Runner" has an info button (button with an 'i' icon), but these only display an About Dialog, and do not provide sufficient information as to the functionality of the "Runner".

The developers who wrote these know what they do, but first time users do not. For example, the first item is "Applications", but it says only "Applications, control panels and services." What does that mean? What does the Applications runner do?

There needs to be better immediately available information. What are runners and what do they do?
