Agreed; to a degree. It's an easy function to re-enable though. Perhaps if the "feature" had been documented during testing there would have been more lurkers such as myself willing to pop up on the cooker list and scream about it. I started testing a 3 full weeks before I thought any beta releases were due to be available, but was unsure whether it was something I had screwed up when Super User File Manager and Super User Konsole disappeared. It seems some of the developers and volunteers seem to have a tendency to step in and add weight to the complaints of "we that have no talent for coding;" which usually gets the attention of the decision makers. Others however are so wrapped in their own skill and projects that they have no time for end users at all. )-: I think those people might need some incentive other than just the "Fun Factor" to work on the projects they have taken responsibility for. I'm going to start spending more time reading, and trying to understand, the change logs and the appropriate list, then volunteer to attempt to translate "geek to plain language." Documentation always seems the weakest link in any distribution, and it may be well past time that someone at least *try* to make this stuff understandable.
