Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Red Hat Linux 7.3 Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (ASPLinux 7.3 2.96-113) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-5asp I like the current grouping. But I wish if I could make taskbuttons grouping based on my liking. I request you to add a few options (in taskbar configuration) to give more flexibility to users to configure the grouping of task buttons, using some criteria, like: 1. Number of minimum taskbuttons (All apps) required to group. // MAX_task_buttons=5 2. Number of Application task buttons (ONE app) required to group // MAX_<appname>_task_buttons=4 3. Disble grouping for specific application // MAX_<appname>_task_button=0 ;zero=disable Thank you in Advance.
#1 has been implemented for some time now.

I can't believe I'm alone on whishing an option to group windows by processId or image(executable) name... Am I?
Well, I don't use grouping because for me it is very annoying when e.g. all konqueror tasks are only accessible through a pop-up menu. I would accept grouping if it would be possible to exactly configure which applications shall be grouped *always* (gimp e.g.) and which applications shall *never* be grouped.
I believe KDE would greatly benefit from this feature. What makes grouping taskbar entries such a non-loved feature is the fact that the way it automatically groups apps lifts usability barriers instead of making it easier to navigate apps. Thanks to the manual grouping feature, grouping benefited from an astronomical improvement and I see myself intentionally wanting to use that feature, even when the taskbar isn't cluttered.
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
