Description David A Taylor 2005-08-15 02:25:45 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

I would like to suggest actually moving the functionality of 'kalarm' in to the clock applet. Their has been some talk of reducing the number of apps in kde for simplification (admittedly only to reduce function duplication) on 'Planet KDE'. If done right, this would not necessarily increase the interface's complexity and would ease a 'Windows Metaphor Newbie's' hunt for an alarm, I mean alarm's are always built in to a clock so it would be intuitive (Paying attention to what Jess Hall pointed out http://www.canllaith.org/blog/elevation.html as this is something that has already been learned in life).

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!
