are there any plans to get lancelot back as alternative to kicker
because after using it for many years kicker is still a huge step
backwards and i would even go so far calling it unuseable
* it's way to small and not resizeable
* it don't remember the submenu previously opened
well, having "remote conntections -> company -> vnc -> machine1/2/3..."
and start 5 VNC session from there - with lancelot you just clicked
again on the menu icon and the section was still open, 2 clicks instead
5 for each action and additionally when you where fast enough you even
managed start 2-3 applications from the same menu before lancelot closed
the first time at all
and no - favorites don't scale at all, especially not when you have a
large screen and the kicker menu don't use the space

well, that sounds more like theory as long lancelot is not available for
Plasma 5 while it should have replaced kicker long ago as default

plasma 5 is making it easier to switch widgets. I
would cite the example of the default application
launcher. I am not a huge fan of it; I prefer
Lancelot launcher. It is now easier to switch between
Kicker or Lancelot launcher. Panels in Plasma 5 makes it ever easier
to switch that particular widget (if alternatives
are installed) instead of having to search for it. There are many
reasons why I preferred Lancelot over Kicker, but developers have
made significant improvements to Kicker and I will be interested in
testing it out.
