The "command-line" you want is provided by KRunner, and there is a UI for it available from Alt+F2. However, what you really want is a 'KRunner Widget' for plasma to replace the 'Command-Line Applet' for kicker. I don't think one of those exists right now. A wishlist-priority bug somewhere might be apropos. >2.

There is such a thing in KDE 4, but it lacks a lot >functionality (e. g., it has no history and could not >parse some functional inputs). Again, this is provided by KRunner. I also could not find a history for it, so you might consider filing a wishlist-priority bugs for this as well. If there is a functional input that doesn't work, it should be filed as a bug or wishlist-priority or greater--greater if it something KRunner is already supposed to support. >3.

Your Xinerama (or vendor-specific alternative) is not configured correctly then. That's a X server configuration issue, not *entirely* a KDE problem. Once Xinerama is working, KDE 4 should start providing window management configuration options that only make sense in multi-monitor mode. >5.

I also don't like the existing System Monitor widget. I actually want the ksysguard kicker applet from KDE 3 converted directly over, which is much more complex that you want. You might find the author of the kicker applet and see if (s)he has a version for KDE 4 and/or search kdeapps.org for a plasma widget that has exactly the features you want. It should be relatively easy to write one, as I think the appropriate "DataEngine"s already exist. It won't be in Debian until someone writes it and someone (else?) decides to package it and commit to maintaining it in Debian. But, the Qt/KDE is constantly overworked right now[1], so asking for developer time from upstream will probably be more productive. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ [1] Please help. There's a lot of things that the "average user" can do to lessen the load on the team, particularly bug triage.
