More detail - version KDE 3.1 on Linux Mandrake 9.0 (from Mandrake packages.) I noticed the missing tear-offs, and after searching foung a configuration option that should re-enable.... kde control panel/look and feel/style/ then the effects tab, enable gui effects and menu tear-off handles. However, after enabling this, I see no difference. I had read discussion about disabling tear-offs by default, it looks as though they can't be re-enabled through the control panel (or through manual editing of .kde/share/config/kdeglobals (in the kde section InsertTearOffHandle=) should control this behavior. It was disabled for technical reasons:
From kdebase/kicker/ui/k_mnu.cpp:
#if 0
// WABA: tear off handles don't work together with dynamically updated
// menus. We can't update the menu while torn off, and we don't know
// when it is torn off.
if (KGlobalSettings::insertTearOffHandle())
insertTearOffHandle();
#endif
I'd be willing to live with out-dated torn-off menus for the short period of time that they'd be out of date. This seems an acceptable short-coming -- I use torn off menus much more often than I update the menus. I'd suspect others have a similar usage pattern and a similar preference. Cheers, Jedd. |
