KDE When KDE 4.0 was first released, it was met with quite some criticism. Even though people saw the huge potential, the lack of functionality and stability, as well as quite a few bugs detracted from the experience. The KDE developers continued to work on implementing their relatively radical vision, and with the release of KDE 4.2 creeping ever closer, it seems they're well on their way.

A Question

Can you set it up to give you the application and window list menus for a mouse-click in the root window (what you control in KDE3 by ControlCenter > Desktop > Behavior > Mouse Button Actions)?

I never was able to find any way of getting them in Mandriva's edition of KDE 4.1.3, which for me is a show-stopper.

This is the first time I've not been able to get application menus by clicking in the root window since at least OL(V)WM on SPARC2's back in the early Nineties. KDE3 had the best scheme I had found in more than fifteen years, and then they seem to be gone entirely in 4.1.

What gives?
