Bug 51774

Version:           1.1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

When many windows are open, the buttons to these windows in the taskbar are becoming so small that it is not possible anymore to read the name of the konsole's windows. This is particulary painful when one has many konsole's windows opened. Previous version of RedHat (7.2 and maybe earlier) diplayed first the name of the window and then the login name of the user and of the computer (I am not sure about this last comment).

To be more precise, I now have:

my_name@my_computer:/path/to/my/current/directory - name_of_the_window - Konsole , e.g.

clinton@titanic:/home/durand/NIST/simulation/fortran/fire - FORTRAN Simulation - Konsole


But I would prefer something like:

name_of_the_window  my_name@my_computer:/path/to/my/current/directory - Konsole, e.g

FORTRAN Simulation clinton@titanic:/home/durand/NIST/simulation/fortran/fire - Konsole


The advantage of this last proposition is that if the taskbar contains many buttons, we could at least read "FORTRAN Simulation" instead of "clinton@titanic". I know who I am and I know the name of my computer. If I named my konsole's windows, it is for a precise reason: to indentify and find them more easily!

It was like this before; so why changing something which was really useful? At least, we could choose what we prefer in a menu or something equivalent.


Sincerly
