MOUSE TIP

Subject: Mouse Tip


This is an old tip for your desktop that disappeared in CSOL 2.3, but is functional again in eDesktop 2.4. If you would like your applications to appear when you click a blank area of your desktop, edit your ~/.kde/share/config/krootwmrc file and add the following two lines:

[MouseButtons]
Left=Menu

You'll need to restart your Xserver for this to take effect. You'll have the same menu as clicking on the "K" anywhere you're pointer is on the screen.

The mod only changes the functionality of the desktop click. The only thing you lose is the ability to select multiple items on the desktop by dragging. Otherwise, it affects nothing.
