Thanks Philip, I also noticed that 'konqueror' works fine, so I |
25 |
changed the FB menu accordingly. Apwal looks cool, I will give it a |
26 |
spin (although I am conditioned to years of using the FB right-click |
27 |
menu). |

The problem remains though with most menus and submenus in KDE |
30 |
applications; e.g. right-click on a file in Konqueror, then 'Open |
31 |
With' and there are no applications in the popup to select from ... I |
32 |
have to type the application manually. This is a rather significant |
33 |
usability hurdle for me. |

Any KDE gurus out there? |
