kde4 won't reposition widgets in task bar

[Lars Noodén]

If I 'right-click' in the task bar on the icon for a program or widget, then the option to move or reposition the icon is missing (it was there in KDE <=3.5.x) The current options shown with a 'right-click' are
   Application Launcher ...
   Panel ...
   Add Widgets ...
   Remove this ...

This setup originates from 'kubuntu-kde4-8.04-alternate-amd64.iso'

The option to move widgets and such around on the panel will be added in KDE 4.1.

Well, it was on the features list anyway. I guess it didn't make it. (I should have been more careful stating that, though...)

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

Ok. So KDE 4 is still in rather early alpha stage, where features are still getting chosen and/or implemented. That's fine, but the naming should reflect the situation.

but you can vote on Brainstorm.

The Opensuse patch got ported over to KDE 4.1:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/kdebase-workspace/devel/kdebase-workspace-4.0.83-kde?rev=1.1&view=markup#154119.patch

Would be real nice to see this in Intrepid.

link is dead - here the correct one:

[Lydia Pintscher (lydia-pintscher)]

Will be included in KDE 4.1.

Resolved in KDE 4.1 rc1
