Description Cyril HAENEL 2004-04-15 20:46:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

Hello, I have just installed KDE 3.2, and I prefer the old functionnality of the "show desktop button".

In KDE 3.2, when we click on the show desktop button, all the application are minimised. OK. But after that, for example, if I open my home directory by clicking on it on the desktop, all the minimised application pop up.

I think it should be nice to have a second button, called for example "minimize all windows".

So, the user can choose the button he want in the taskbar, actual functionnality ( toggle ), or previous functionnality, as win98 and previous KDE version.


Best regards,

Cyril HAENEL

PS : sorry for my porr english

this was changed purposefully after quite some consideration. there's another wish for a "Minimize all windows" in the window list button, and that's really where it belongs.
