Bug Description

Binary package hint: kubuntu-default-settings

Please don't configure the Kickoff menu to not "switch tabs on hover" by default. I believe the KDE upstream setting of switching on hover is useful to more users than having to click to switch tabs. I think we should stick to the KDE defaults unless there is a good reason or if we are intentionally providing value-added differentiation.

Thanks for linking me to that other bug report. I wasn't able to find that in my searching. While it's an interesting point that the Applications menu doesn't navigate through hovering, hovering is still more useful and usable and is the KDE default for that reason. (Is there any other distro that changes this setting?) I realize I'd have to convince several more people first. Maybe I should look into getting the Applications menu hover thing working.
