My Linux development desktop is more than 10 years old, as is my right hand
monitor, but I don't think the sole target market for KDE or kickoff is
yesterday's hardware.  Although Linux is an "all terrain vehicle", I think KDE
is is focused on the desktop.

Kickoff is font and centre of KDE first-impressions.  I can appreciate that a
more general solution would be attractive, but some priority to first
impressions would be both practical and good P.R.  So I return to my suggestion
that a kickoff fix and the more general solution could be split. Lastly there
is cupnoodles kickoff/grid for those who don't want to wait for the kickoff
part of the problem to be solved. But I'm repeating myself, sorry.
