"When you press something like "shutdown" or "restart" it pops up a menu which basicly asks you the same thing. thereby invalidating the choice you made before."

As much as I dislike kickoff, I have to defend it here: Other start menu alternative also have this pretty annoying behaviour :(. Problem seems to be somewhere else.

I totally agree concerning the window stuff: Current Oxygen-theme seems to ignore any setting distinguishing active and inactive windows...

I ran into this a while back and went searching for some answers. I ended up at:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152030

which basically says "this is the way we intended it to work, and no, you can't change it". The prevailing opinion seems to be "install a different theme".

    Well, in opensuse KDE3 kickoff only shows a confirm dialog when you already choose the option in the kickoff menu. Someone from the opensuse team is working on kickoff in order to add all the features it already had in KDE3 so maybe it's on his to-do list.

The traditional start menu? It has only one menu entry for terminating the session, as in KDE 3 so it is not a problem that a window pops up asking whether you want to log out or shut down etc. The problem with Kickoff is that it has different menu entries for logout, shutdown etc., but it still asks one more time which do you want.

    I'm using openSUSE snapshots, and until recently the traditional start menu had exactly the same bannoying ehaviour as the kickoff menu!

    That's like the habit that "Switch sessions" leads to a krunner window with the test "SESSIONS" preselected, which has again to be confirmed to start a new X-session.

    No real bugs, but examples of that many minor small annoying things that get on your nerves when trying KDE4. Couldn't all this be easily fixed?
