    Discussion Points

    From "Notifications:

    • KNotify is from "Applications" ?
    • SystemBell and Launch Feedback could be in a "System Notifications" group in "Workspace" ?

    Where is the boundary in this notifications-related KCMs ?

    --

    Where does File Association belongs to ? "Applications" behavior?

    --

    Should "Custom Shortcuts" ("Input Actions") be a Workspace setting? (it is mostly used to launch apps; but it is also used for some intra-apps things)

    --

    "Screen Edges" seems to be belong to both "Desktop" and "Windows", so it may end up as a top-level module in "Workspace" ....

    Usability Discussion

    Started after Trever did a quick usability study with a friend: http://markmail.org/message/ods463crzwjc5erm

    Current topics

    • Usability studies are needed.
    • We need a formal policy on what goes where, with something similar to the Desktop Menu Spec by freedesktop.org. Otherwise, everyone will be upset when we change things for every request.
    • Tabs are bad
    • Maybe a better UI?
    • Usability studies are needed.


    Things that need to be done

    • Review the icons for everything
    • Review the comments for everything
    • Split the KCMs with tabs into separate KCMs
    • Drop general/advanced category support for systemsettings (finally)
    • https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185752
    • https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157587
    • display.desktop - Contains the same exact components as "kcmshell4 randr kgamma xinerama screensaver". Nuke it.
    • kcmtrash - This should go somewhere.
    • kcmperformance.desktop - Needs split out into two pieces, one for konqueror and another for KDE as a whole
    • Review every .desktop file that shows up as kcontrol as the parent app. The majority of the ones who shouldn't show up in kcontrol are simply for konqueror. However, they should get their own category.
    • Write a specification of the different categories, their usage, along with clear-cut definitions of what is and isn't acceptable for each.
