It saves its size properly for me. |

For specifying a size (not restoring the last-used size), in KDE you |
9 |
can specify extensive window placement and geometry profiles for |
10 |
windows by right-clicking on the titlebar and choosing "Configure |
11 |
window behavior...". I have no idea about Fluxbox. |

Okular does so much more than Kpdf it's not even funny. |

Completely false. In fact, Konqueror has more import options than any |
21 |
other browser that I've ever seen! There are extensive "Import" and |
22 |
"Export" menus in the bookmarks editor. |

According to a single google search for "kmahjongg removed tiles", the |
32 |
primary author of Kmahjongg stated he removed that feature in 2006. I |
33 |
guess you've just been using the old version the whole time and sounds |
34 |
like you will continue to. :) |

I don't use it, but it seems to do its job. I prefer Geeqie because I |
40 |
am more used to its keyboard navigation. |

It's different, but I like it. It has grown on me over time. KDE3 |
49 |
looks plain and old-fashioned now when I go back and see it. |
