Not usable Anne. I went to the cashew & did the zoom thing, which proceeded to overlay the screen completely, covering your msg. Then things locked up, clock stopped, mouse froze, no response to a ctl+alt+bkspc and I had to use the hdwe reset to reboot.. Now the screen background I did have set is gone, as is the plasma launcher that was occupying the upper left 1/6th of the screen. Other stuff seems to run ok if I can find it in the menu's to run it, but my previous desktop has been quite destroyed. So how do I restore that transparent program launcher, and my background picture now so I am at least back to what kde4.1 could do? > Go back to your first Activity and zoom in - > you are back where you started. Where is this zoom in button, it doesn't exist here, nor does there appear to be any back out without changing anything facility. >Now go to each desktop, zoom out, set one Activity to use that desktop, > zoom in.

If only there were zoom buttons for both directions, there doesn't appear to be a zoom in, only out to ever smaller muti-images, all the same pix until it crashes. I just repeated it after rebooting, and was trying to locate my background pix, but the thumbnail viewer would have taken at least 2 hours to display every pix in the selected directory. Painfully slow, on a quad core phenom. And I had 2 zoom out buttons, and no zoom in button. I accidentally found just now that rolling the center wheel of the mouse seems to exit it, but I still have a plain blue screen background on all 8 screens. This is plainly NOT usable as a means of configuring the desktop. I found my picture and applied it, but most screens are still overlaid with the zoom out stuff, how to I exit that other than rebooting again? I can see the selected pix on some screens, reduced to 1/4 screen, but there is not a zoom in button to restore the normal view. Rebooting certainly doesn't seem to me to be a valid exit method, this after all, isn't a winderz box. :( >Anne -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
