Replying to my own post (sorry): I tried it last evening. The applet is similar and will serve the purpose, except that it is buggy. Specifically, when I resize and reposition the "pager" applet, the resize is not remembered across invocations of KDE. (If it makes a difference, I start KDE with "startx" from a VT.) When I restart KDE, the position is roughly remembered but the "pager" starts out with a size that of about 1cm square. Another one is that once you size it like you want, if you now go to configure it, say, with desktop numbers each desktop pane w/in "pager", the applet shrinks a small amount. Each time you reconfigure it, it shrinks again, till it is almost disappears. There are other small bugs having to do with positioning and sizing but these two are the biggies. I searched the bugzilla DB and found a this recent pager bug report: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486478> with replies by you (Rex). I'm using kdebase-workspace-4.2.0-8.fc10.i386 and friends like the bug reporter. I notice that you don't have the problem using the packages from updates-testing. I want to try them tonight. But when I do: yum update "*kde*" --enablerepo updates-testing it says it wants to install 33 packages. So: 1) How do I easily revert (rollback) to the current packages if these updates break my system? Is there an easy way short of hand de-installing each package and re-installing the current ones? 2a) Which packages do I need to install to test the fix of "pager"? 2b) Will a subset of the updates-testing packages be compatible with my current up-to-date installation?
