Not much the KDE devs can do about that except encourage the Amarok devs to ship quality tested code.

Most of my images are done as a slide show. > Having them in random order sort of defeats the point. My pet peeve is Desktop. I have two monitors at work and use two X screens. KDE wants to create a Desktop and a Desktop-1 directory. I want it to just use the same set of files for both - background, icons, plasma widgets must be the same on both monitors, but actual app windows running there independent. This seems perfectly reasonable to me - e17 does it out the box - but thus far I have not found the magic voodoo spell that makes it happen. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
