Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 3.2.2 OS: Linux This is a patch that makes the taskbar more useful, particularly as the width of the buttons decreases. What it does is search the window caption for a URL, which when present is usually the name of the document loaded in the application. If it finds one, it displays just the URL, and if it is too long to fit, it displays it right-justified so that the end of the URL is shown, which is the most significant bit, typically the filename. For example, for a window containing 'file:/home/fred/documents/sales - KWrite', instead of displaying 'file:/home/fre...', it would display '...uments/sales'. A picture of the patch in action is available at: http://homepages.tesco.net/~b.page/taskbar.png It's not foolproof, finding the document name this way, but it works well for me. Regards, Adrian Page

Kicker is no more mantained and all bugs/wishes will not be fixed/implemented in KDE3. A list of the most interesting/unresolved issues which is still valid for KDE4 has been created. Before reopening old kicker bugs on KDE4 Plasma, please try the new KDE 4.3.1, check the current behaviour and, only if you find new bugs or if you need a particular feature, open a new bug report. Remember that KDE 4 is a full rewrite of KDE 3 so some old features will not be re-implemented because the behaviour has be changed a lot on some sides. Thanks for the comprehension and enjoy the new KDE 4! -- FiNeX & D. Andres
