Just say no to clutter
by Fredrik C on Friday 04/Apr/2003, @04:06

People are cheering this as a 'Cool' feature, but adding all cool features of the month to the main GUI is just a bad UI design. Please have it turned off by default.

1) It's in the sidebar not the main GUI.

2) It's not there unless you use it.

3) Go KDE!!! Go Konqi!!!

You don't even notice a difference between before and after. I think you should read the Headliner and the comment of this Topic again and look at the screenshots about what it does because I assume you are a bit missinformed. You are the person on your system and you decide wether you want to add these Sidepanel news or not it doesn't add stuff automatically. You have to click on the 'Add to my Sidepanel' (or how they things are labeled) on the Webpages and you get promted with a dialog wether you wish to add it or not.

If you want to remove something from your sidebar, just right-click it and click 'Remove' - just as if it was a panel button. If you are a KDE user it should not be very difficult to figure this out. Besides, the sidebar doesn't have very many buttons.

Now, I just realized that the right-click-and-remove trick does not work on toolbars - the toolbar menu only lets me use the Configure Toolbars dialog . . .

The other thing, the more features there are in KDE, the longer it takes for me to compile it from source!

GCC got slower at compiling C++, I think that's what you're experiencing.
