Ah - I missed the point totally :-) OK. I was thinking of application
launchers on the panel.
Whether you use kickoff menu or krunner (alt+F2) they have a fuzzy search, so
if you put in VoIP you should see a list of all the VoIP capable applications
that you have installed, and you can then click on the one that you want.
Does that help?
No not really. I know how to search, and that's useful. But I don't
always want to search. Sometimes I just need to see the name of the
app to remember what I am looking for. So I would like to be able to
go to the Multimedia section or whatever it is called and see Amarok,
so I remember that's what I'm looking for. As it is I have to mouse
over each one.
