Hi,

All remarks for the KDE environment

- In the k-menu, the most recently used applications list at the top is gone.
  I guess this is intentional, and yes I read the discussion on kde-usability.
  Still this does not match the solution presented there by Waldo.
  Please put these back while no proper solution is present. We now have to
  go through the menus to get at the same apps time and again.

- In kghostview mode in konqy, the zoom buttons are now gone!
  This is very serious. By removing these buttons arbitrarily for
  that viewing mode only you DEGRADE kde usability
  (that  has the same set of buttons visible in all modes.) 
  Please add these back, it is not at all easy for users to put these
  back (take a look at the toolbar configuration menus and you know
  what I mean!)
  And if you are looking to reduce the number of buttons, consider 
  removing other buttons instead. For example why is print frame there?

  If this change is intentional, for consistency's sake you might just 
  as well remove these buttons from file management mode 
  (they are used there to increase/decrease icon size which is not done
  much at all and therefore should be done through the menu).

On a more general note, what principles are being used by Mandrake to
guide decisions of this kind? I do not think that these changes are 
helping KDE usability...

Best 

John
