Description Mathew Hennessy 2009-01-27 02:35:52 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

KDE3 had a 'run command' applet which put a Konqueror URL bar in the kicker panel, and from there you could launch all sorts of URLs in konqueror, or simply launch commands in the $PATH.

This feature appears to be missing in KDE4, please restore it.

Perhaps this is merely a question of semantics, but I would assume that restoring features previously available in KDE should not be considered 'wishlist'..  At least now, when 4.2 is supposed to be the recommended replacement for 3.5?  Why is missing functionality from 3.5 not considered a bug in this release?

There is a Run Command plasmoid in playground-plasma currently. I don't know when it is going to be included in the default releases.

A bug is when something is not working as expected. A wishlist is a new feature request, even if the feature was present in KDE 3.

The "Run Command" applet for Plasma is available in playground/plasma in KDE4.3.x:
