Description racoonator 2009-06-11 21:58:18 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hello,

With Kde3 when we click with the middle button of the mouse on a part of the desktop where nothing was displayed, a pop-up menu appears. This customise menu was very useful to launch the most used applications, instead of put the shortcut on the desktop.

With Kde4, i can't find this function, it seems to have been deleted. Is it possible to have this functionality back in a future version ?

Thanks,

Stéphane

yes, it'll be in 4.4 - I'm working on it right now. :)
