Opera taskbar context menu slow to load
by Syam Krishnan
Hi..
Anybody using Opera browser here? For me, the taskbar context menu for
Opera (the menu you get when right-clicking on the taskbar entry for an
application), takes about 2-3 seconds to appear.
I believe this happened ever since that update to KDE which supported
'jump lists'. But I cannot be sure since too many things have been
updated in the past weeks (including Opera). There are no issues with
context menus for Akgerator, Firefox, Thunderbird, Filezilla etc.
Thanks,
Syam

kde buggy, trying out cinnamon
by Neal Becker
I'm finding kde has become too buggy. Frustrations are:
1. windows don't respect panel, fullscreen windows will go under the panel.
2. power management has become very flaky. When on battery, configuration
is to dim, and after some time suspend. screen does dim (totally!), but
does not respond when keys/mouse touched. Instead, only Fn+f6 will turn on
the screen. Suspend seems to have broken.
3. screenlock is configured to activate after 10 minutes. It has stopped
working (never activates).
So I decided to try cinnamon. It seems much less buggy. Almost perfect in
most respects, although I don't like that I can't see all the apps on all
the workspaces in the taskbar, as in kde. Makes switching a lot less
pleasant. Power management seems to work fine.
But cinnamon seems to have a deal-breaking issue for me. The fonts on KDE
look much better. I can't understand why.
I do have this .fonts.conf:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="dpi" mode="assign">96</edit>
