Thanks for the explanation. Even though I have been using KDE4.X since April I still don't grasp a lot of the inner workings and I guess I still have to read a lot of code and experiment on my own before I'm half way there ;-) I understood in principle what you wrote but cannot think of an example where I have seen it in use. If I where given an example I hope my response would be "Ahhh - now I understand" :-D -- Best Regards / Med venlig hilsen Thomas Olsen (who is still living in the old Desktop way of thinking) _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
