Separating KDE and Gnome Sessions!

[CraigPaleo]

I'm not sure where to put this. I thought maybe I should put it under feedback but that seems to be only for the forum itself.

I just installed the latests update and I no longer have KDE plasmoids showing up in my Gnome panel and visa versa. THANK YOU!!!

Kubuntu seems much faster than Ubuntu, especially the DE effects. They were so slow under Gnome that when using wobbly windows, I could not place a window at the top of the screen. It would bounce down. In KDE, the windows are more springy than wobbly, making it much more usable!

I'm thinking about going fully Kubuntu if I could only find a panel plasmoid that force quits misbehaving or frozen apps. It's not often this happens and I think it's a flash problem. Every once in a while, a flash web page will freeze and that widget was nice to have in Gnome. Heck, even a keyboard short cut would do - something like control-alt-delete.

Thanks again!

Re: Separating KDE and Gnome Sessions!

Hi there,

I am not aware of a "force quit" plasmoid. If an app misbehaves what I do is find out its process nr. by typing

pgrep package_name

I then kill the app by typing

kill 12345

Only rarely do you have to put a sudo in front of the kill command, depends on who owns the process.

Oh, and to have that shell always a keystroke away I use yakuake.
