--- Comment #11 from Eike Hein <h...@kde.org> ---
Favorites are mostly user-placed, so spatial memory should help with
disambiguification. Plus it's really on app devs to make sure their app icons
are distinct anyways.

Kicker is an alternative menu designed for users who want a more
space-constrained, tightly-packed menu. It's for the kind of user who goes
"please remove these dumb space-wasting text labels everywhere, I know what
icon I am clicking", not the user who wants those labels added. It's an opt-in
design for people who know their shell well and want to use it efficiently.

If that's not the audience openSUSE is targeting they probably shouldn't
default to Kicker. Kicker used to be superior in features to Kickoff so there
were reasons to default to Kicker, but I ported Kickoff to Kicker's backend in
5.4, so they're at parity now. Of course a distro which does target that
audience would presumably do very well defaulting to Kicker.
