The fact that today I accidentally deleted $XDG_DATA_HOME instead of \$XDG_DATA_HOME (somehow `# vim` keep re-creating that directory) in my $HOME folder and now I can't seem to bind META+T to Konsole and META+E to Dolphin.
Any other applications, I can bind. Any other shortcuts I can. But Meta+T/E to Konsole/Dolphin, I can't. Fortunately KDE doesn't seem to store much in ~/.local/share (which is where $XDG_DATA_HOME points to). edit: ah, a reboot later and it works as usual... go figure (not saying it's KDE's fault, it maybe be an .xprofile or some .voodoo mismatch).
And the fact that some options in the default configuration panel can actually only be used when you chown certain files to root (the login manager background for instance).
I love KDE though, the UI is way cleaner than it was before, it's fast, the whole desktop feels visually coherent, but it still feels like climbing a tree with a gazillion branches when configuring it through the configuration UI.
(and someday the automatic sound output switching will work, but not today)
- simion314 7y agoI am not excusing KDE here, I can't be sure but there is a chance that is a packaging/distro issue. My question was for OP to present the fundamental UI issue, I am sure there are hundreds or touand of bugs in the KDE bug tracker but I am not aware of a fundamental issue unlike the other popular DE that has a major architectural issue .
