Description aspnes 2008-07-31 17:17:37 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Many tools offer dialogs with a "do not ask again" option.  There does not appear to be any standard mechanism (or in many cases any mechanism at all, short of editing well-hidden config files) for undoing this choice.  This allows naive users to make permanent changes to the behavior of their KDE installation that can't be recovered from.

Example:

Insert new media.

Click "do nothing" and "do not ask again".

Seek in vain for a control panel option that undoes this.


(other examples abound---this is a general usability problem for almost all KDE applications.)
