Description Natalie 2005-11-01 02:08:27 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    I Don't Know
OS:                Linux

userguide_switching-sessions.po

  - by clicking the relevant launcher in the &kmenu;.
  
  - I'd rather call this "the relevant menu entry"


  - clicking the &kmenu; and choosing <guimenuitem>Run 
  Program</guimenuitem>

  - My KMenu (3.3) has: "Run Command..."
  I checked in svn in /messages/kdebase/kicker.po. and it
  says "Run Command..." as well.


  - the respective shortcut for bringing up this dialog 

  - There is no explanation about which dialog.


  - I'd mention the "Run Command" method before the Konsole
  method, because the first and second methods then both
  use the KMenu.


  - While applications can also be launched from the quick
  launch in &kicker;, the &kde; panel,

  - Is this the Quick Browser or the Application Button?


  - As an afterthought: Maybe a bulleted list would be 
  "cleaner".


programs-and-documents.docbook:31

  - choose <guimenuitem>Run Command</guimenuitem>

  - choose <guimenuitem>Run Command...</guimenuitem>


programs-and-documents.docbook:41

  - Choose <guibutton>OK</guibutton>

  - Click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>


programs-and-documents.docbook:56

  - type the name of the program you wish to launch
  (remembering &konsole; is case sensitive)

  - It's not just Konsole that is case sensitive, 
  everything in Linux is case sensitive :)


  - By pressing &Tab;, &konsole; will try to guess the
  name of the program you wish to launch.

  - By pressing &Tab;, you tell &konsole; to ...
  or
  After you have pressed &Tab;, &konsole; will ...

  - Konsole does not try to guess ... Konsole uses 
  Tab completion.


programs-and-documents.docbook:209

  - Try right clicking on any item to configure it or 
  to empty space to add a new entry.

  - ... or on an empty area ...

  - "Try right clicking" sounds as if we're not sure that 
  it will work :)


programs-and-documents.docbook:236

  - the <guilabel>Preview and Metafiles</guilabel> tab 

  - the <guilabel>Previews and Meta-Data</guilabel> tab 


programs-and-documents.docbook:319

  - the <guimenuitem>Send Link...</guimenuitem> action to 
  &konqueror;,

  - In the menu it is: "Send Link Address..."


programs-and-documents.docbook:521

  - There must be a way to restore the default toolbars ...
  ... but I don't know what it is.

  - I think it's this:
  Remove the file something.rc or somethingui.rc
  It's a xml file, it lists all menus toolbars.
  for KWord: /home/.kde/apps/kword/kword.rc
  for Kate: /home/.kde/apps/katepart/katepartui.rc
  When you haven't changed the menus or toolbars, 
  the file does not exist.
