I've no idea; how do I tell? I see in f=>Applications=>System=>System Settings=>Desktop there is a checkbox "Enable desktop effects" ticked (not by me). If I click on the "All Effects" tab I see a list of "effects". "Desktop Grid" is indeed checked in (not by me) but it does not specify any way of implementing this option except Ctrl+F8, which actually does something slightly different. (The mini-desktops are aligned in a grid-like way with Ctrl+F8; they are not aligned like this when the desktop fractionates.) Am I alone in finding the whole KDE setup ludicrously complicated? In my view it is a mistake to offer people billions of options which would take hours to sift through. I wish someone would convey to Fedora developers in general, and KDE developers in particular, the merits of simplicity. Every option added to an application reduces its usability. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
