I'm biting my tongue here, because to say this "feature" is confusing, worthless and contradicts standards is an understatement. :-) > Not rejecting it because I don't know a better way to >track the response of users to this change than to track reported bugs. THANK YOU! Not all developers feel that way... I've got a GNOME bug report to prove it. :-) But I digress.... >It works in gtk apps too, presumably, because Gnome has supported this >feature since long before KDE implemented it. But it seems then that it's been an option that K(U)ubuntu wasn't utilizing until Edgy. And as has been pointed out, it's a result of the "kubuntu-default- settings" package. This "feature" wasn't in said package prior to Edgy, so clearly it's a decision made by the Kubuntu team (or Jonathan Riddell, the package maintainer). It didn't come from KDE or GNOME. -- [edgy] Can't show root (/) in gtk file chooser after update to edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/67314 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
