In KDE 3.59 I still have a problem with the network folder wizard. When I try to use it to mount a remote ssh folder, it wont accept a port number higher than 32768. But the remote ssh places Im trying to connect to use ports higher than that. I don't mind getting into the code and fixing it myself, but I wanted to know if u knew of any good workarounds for this.

I thought this may not yet be implemented, but I wanted to ask some KDE pro to be sure. nixternal: Thanks! I thought this may not yet be implemented, but I wanted to ask some KDE pro to be sure.

Have to check and see if anyone else is witnessing that. @Sirrus: the feature you are looking for is in the pipe for future releases. It seems that with every release of the 4.0.x series, they add 1 or 2 new features from trunk for Plasma. The only way that I know how you can move them is by editing the ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc by hand, which is not fun at all. @Linus: odd you can’t boot from the alternate but the live cd works.

The effects are working correctly, plasma is shining, and the system sounds! Wow, they're well done. I'm making KDE 4 my primary desktop environment, as I think it's stable and feature-full enough for me to use. One thing I have to discover yet though. I simply cannot find any way to move the taskbar, system tray or any other applet I put on the panel. The applets simply stack one after another, so when I want to reorder these, I have to remove them all and then add them in the desired order. Any hints on how to do this some easy, other (possibly KDE3-style) way, Richard? I would be extremely grateful. :) I’m running the KDE 4 version, and I must say it’s well done.
