Thanks for your help - jon They are little post it notes, in your desktop settings under mouse actions your middle mouse button is set to paste, so when you middle click on the desktop it pastes the current clip board contents into a post it note depending on whats in your clip board at the time it should ask if you want to add a note or a webslice or an image. anyway, just disable the paste option from your middle click button in desktop settings, then just delete the notes as any other plasmoid widget Martin signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

That too. anyway, just disable the paste option from your middle click button in desktop settings, then just delete the notes as any other plasmoid widget Center click is one of my favorite tools, so I don't want to disable it right now. Deleting a note isn't so easy; there's been a fair amount of discussion on the web about how to remove widgets, none of it informative. I would have thought that if a note is right clicked, a menu would appear with an option to delete the note. When I right click one of these notes a menu does appear with many options for editing the note, but no option to delete it. An ordinary note is larger and has a border at the bottom, which when right clicked produces a option to delete it. Further advice is solicited.

Thanks very much - jon with widgets unlocked, these notes should have a semi transparent border appear around them when you hover your mouse over them, and should have the usual resize, rotate and delete icons in it. it maybe that they're too small to produce the border, or maybe the border does show up but too small to display it all correctly, can you resize them at least??

These little windows can't be resized or moved. Windows generated by using the menu got by right or center clicking the Knote icon in the tray have a partial border at the top which can be used to drag them, can be resized, and a partial border at the bottom which generates a menu when right clicked that has a function that deletes them (among others). An image of a normal Knote window is attached. Interestingly, the Find option got by right clicking the Knote icon in the tray finds text in normal Knote windows but not in the little boxes at the bottom of the screen.

Little Yellow Boxes
Ever since my upgrade to Fedora-16, whenever I center click on the background of KDE running the activity Search and Launch I get a small yellow box at the bottom of the screen, just above the panel.

They appear to be part of some kind of note system; right clicking them gives an editing menu; the color is the same as a box generated by knotes.
