[Solved] Gnome Icon in KDE - curious...

[Alexander Barnes]

Hi,

Okay I installed a brand new Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.2.2 and so far very impressed (but KPackageKit seem klunky). Congratulations to canonical and KDE for some really great work. I'm curious though, about one thing. Why is there a gnome icon in the top right corner of the desktop...?

Now, no problems with Gnome. But it's interesting. Is there some GTK toolkit running here?

Thats not a gnome icon. This is a Plasma icon (plasma.kde.org)

Gnome is different:

and it is also called "cashew"

What are the "cashews"?

What is commonly referred as "cashew" is the Plasma logo you can find on the default desktop, on the upper right corner, and on the panel, on the right hand side (left hand side if you use a Right-To-Left language). By clicking on them, you can access other configuration options, such as panel configuration and the Zooming User Interface (ZUI). Some of these, like the panel cashew, only appear if the widgets aren't locked (see below)....

Usage: Add the plasmoid to the desktop - cashew's gone. Remove the plasmoid - chashew reappears.

and same thing as a .deb package from a PPA /1/ repository > Package name contains: cashew
