-<title>Using the &kmenu; and the Panel</title>
-
-<para>
-At the bottom of the screen you will find the desktop panel, which is called
-&kicker;. Use the panel to launch applications. Have a look at the
-button on the left with a large &ticon;.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-This button is called the &kmenu;. When the mouse pointer hovers over the icon,
-a small arrow on the top indicates that it will pop up a menu if you
-click on it. The popup offers you easy access to all &tde;
-applications installed on your computer system.
-</para>
-
-<sect2>
-<title>Customizing &kicker;</title>
-
-<!-- FIXME: To add a button, use the little arrows on kicker, not the TDE menu
-I am not sure I agree - some distributions fade or hide the applet handles by default, but
-I haven't found one yet that hides the kmenu. (JLH) -->
-
-<para>If you use one application or tool very often, then you might want to have fast
-access to it. In this case you can add a single application or an entire sub-menu of the
-&kmenu; as a special quick-launch button on the panel. If you want to reach an application
-directly via a launch button, click with the &RMB; either on a clear space on the panel or on the
-&kmenu; icon. Select <menuchoice><guimenu>Panel Menu</guimenu> <guisubmenu>Add Application to Panel...
-</guisubmenu></menuchoice> and then navigate to the application or menu you would like to add to
-the panel.</para>
-
-
-<para>
-You can add an entire menu this way, or one of the &ticon;
-button sub-menus. For example, if you have &koffice; installed and
-want quick access to all the &koffice; applications, without having to
-navigate through the &kmenu;, then instead of choosing an
-application, click on the <guimenuitem>Add Menu to Main Panel</guimenuitem> menu
-entry. Thereafter you will have instant access to all the &koffice;
-applications, without having to put an icon for each on the panel.
-</para>
-
-<note>
-<para>
-You can move all items of the panel around with the
-<guimenuitem>Move</guimenuitem> command of the context menu. Just click
-with the <mousebutton>third</mousebutton> mouse button (the
-<mousebutton>third</mousebutton> mouse button is normally the
-<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> button, but if you have configured your
-mouse differently, for example for left-handers, it might also be the
-<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> one). A menu will pop up where you can
-choose <guimenuitem>Move</guimenuitem>. Now move the mouse and see how
-the icon follows while still staying on the panel. When you are done,
-simply press the <mousebutton>first</mousebutton> mouse button (by default
-the <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> one). As you might have noticed,
-there is also a menu entry <guimenuitem>Remove</guimenuitem> in case you
-are tired of a certain launch button on your desktop.

-<sect2>
-<title>Using Context menus</title>
-
-<para>
-This leads us to another interesting topic: in many places, you can
-click the <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> mouse button to display a
-<interface>context menu</interface> with choices that are applicable to
-the item you clicked. It is therefore always a good idea to try out the
-<mousebutton>third</mousebutton> mouse button on something, if you do
-not know what to do with it. Even the background of the desktops has
-such a menu!
-</para>

-<sect2>
-<title>Other Panel features</title>
-
-<para>
-There are other interesting things possible with the panel. One
-might be important if you have a low resolution on your monitor: it is
-the <quote>hide-and-show</quote> function, activated by clicking on the
-small arrowed button, which is at one or both ends of the panel.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Perhaps you just do not like the panel extending the full width of the
-screen. That's easily changed! &RMB; on an empty space in the panel,
-and choose <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Configure Panel...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. In the &kcontrolcenter;
-dialog that pops up, you can choose <guilabel>Length</guilabel> on
-the <guilabel>Appearance</guilabel> tab, and use the slider there to set
-the panel to less than 100% width.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you're following along, and have that dialog open anyway, then feel
-free to play with all the options, and use the
-<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to see the effect they have. You can
-easily reset everything to the default configuration, by simply pressing
-the <guibutton>Use Defaults</guibutton> button.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-By the way, if you are not sure what a certain button does in &tde;,
-just move the mouse pointer over it and wait for a short while: &tde;
-has a built-in mini context help, called <quote>tool tips</quote>, which
-explains the functionality of such controls in a few words.

-<para>
-There is nothing to fear. &tde; does not remove the
-effective command line. You can move
-your files with the desktop, but you can also use the &UNIX; commands you are
-accustomed to. In fact,&tde; puts command line power at your fingertips,
-in perhaps some surprising places.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-&tde; provides a very sophisticated command line window called
-&konsole;. Choose <menuchoice><guimenu>TDE menu</guimenu>
-<guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu>
-<guimenuitem>Konsole</guimenuitem></menuchoice> to start it. This might
-be something you want on your panel.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Sometimes, you only want to enter one command on the command line. In
-these cases, you do not need a full-blown terminal. Just press
-<keycombo>&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> and you get a
-small command line where you can enter one command. The command line
-window will disappear afterwards, but it remembers your command.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-When you pop up this window (that is called
-<application>minicli</application>) and press the <keycap>Up
-arrow</keycap>, you can browse through all the commands you have
-previously entered. Also, you can enter &URL;s in
-<application>minicli</application> to open a &konqueror; window with
-the specified &URL;.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-&konqueror; and the text editor &kate; can both display terminal windows,
-which behave just like &konsole;. In &konqueror;, you can turn this
-on with the menu choice
-<menuchoice><guimenu>Window</guimenu><guimenuitem>Show Terminal
-Emulator</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. The embedded terminal will display
-at the bottom of your &konqueror; window, and the really clever part
-is that it will follow your clicks in the file manager view, changing
-folder as you do. In &kate; you can display a terminal with the
-menu choice <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Show
-Console</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
-</para>
-
-<tip>
-<para>
-To display a &UNIX; man page, enter
-<userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>command</replaceable></userinput>
-in <application>minicli</application>, where <replaceable>command</replaceable>
-is the name of a &UNIX; command.
-</para>
-</tip>
-
-<tip>
-<para>
-To search for a word or words on the Google search engine, you can try entering
-<userinput><command>gg:</command><replaceable>word or
-words</replaceable></userinput>. There are a whole lot more of these
-shortcut commands, and you can even add your own! Take a look in
-&kcontrolcenter;, in the tab <menuchoice><guilabel>Web Browsing</guilabel>
- <guilabel>Enhanced Browsing</guilabel></menuchoice>.
-</para>
-</tip>
-
-<para>
-Finally, there's a way to have your command line always available, no
-matter what you're doing - add one to your &kicker; panel!
-</para>
-
-<para>Simply &RMB; click on an empty space in the panel and choose
-<menuchoice><guilabel>Add Applet to Panel...</guilabel></menuchoice>. In the dialog that appears,
-scroll down until you see the <guilabel>Run Command</guilabel> list item. Select
-it with the &LMB; and click <guilabel>Add to Panel</guilabel>. This will embed a mini-cli
-directly into your panel, complete with command history.</para>

-Now that we know how to deal with windows, we encourage you to open

-activity, &tde; offers several ways to do it; pick your favorite!
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Many graphical user interface systems require users to click the mouse in a window
-to begin using it. This is &tde;'s default behavior, termed
-<quote>Click To Focus</quote> focus policy. You can configure
-your desktop in a way that moving the mouse pointer on to a window will
-activate it. This is called <quote>Focus Follows Mouse</quote>. If you
-select this policy using the <link linkend="configure">&tde; Control
-Center</link>, the window under the mouse pointer is always the active
-one. It does not necessarily come to the front automatically, but you
-can still click on to the titlebar or the border of a window or, a
-&tde; special, you can use the &Alt; key and click the &MMB;
-anywhere on the window to raise it.

-<title>Using the Taskbar</title>

-<para>
-The <interface>taskbar</interface> displays a list of small icons, one
-for each window on the desktop. In the default &tde; setup the taskbar
-is located inside the panel, but can also be located at the top or
-the bottom of the screen.</para>
-
-<para>
-The taskbar is powerful. In the default configuration, if you

-<quote>grouped</quote>, so that you see one icon per application in
-the taskbar.</para>
-
-<para>A simple &LMB;
-click on the taskbar button will pop up a list of the open windows for
-that application and you can choose the window you want to
-use. Choosing one of these entries with the
-<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> will bring you to the selected

-individually.</para>

-<para>
-You can choose to see all the windows on all the desktops in your

-see the icons for the desktop you are viewing. You can choose

-right clicking on the taskbar handle (the small textured bar at the
-left hand side) and choosing <guimenuitem>Configure Taskbar...</guimenuitem>.
-</para>

-<para>
-The icons on the taskbar resize themselves to make room for

-Virtual desktops are nice. Yet sometimes you want a window to be
-present on <emphasis>every</emphasis> desktop. This could be, for example,
-a small chat window, an alarm clock or whatever. In this case you can
-use the above mentioned <quote>sticky</quote> button that will pin the
-window on the background so that it will appear on every virtual

-</para>
-
-<para>
-The sticky button can also be used to move a window from one virtual
-desktop to another one: push the sticky pin on the window, switch to a
-different desktop, and release the pin by pushing it again. You can
-achieve the same result by using the context popup menu of the

-<title>Managing your files</title>

-<!-- NB Deliberate use of 'directory' rather than 'folder', since we're talking -->
-<!-- about folders on disk -->
-<para>
-A common metaphor of graphical desktops is the use of folders to
-represent folders on your hard disk. Folders contain files and
-other folders. A &tde; application called &konqueror;, the Trinity File
-Manager, uses this metaphor to help you manage your files.

-<title>Using &konqueror;</title>
-
-<para>
-The first time you start &konqueror;, a window with lots of icons in it
-appears. This is a &konqueror; window displaying the files in your
-home folder (the area where your personal files are stored). The
-pathname of the folder is displayed under the window's tool bar. If
-you do not see such a window now, click the icon on the panel that
-looks like a folder with a picture of a house.

-To open a file or folder, <quote>double-click</quote> it with the &LMB;.
-You can also choose

-hierarchy for more direct navigation. Or you can edit the path

-<para>
-&tde; comes with a set of applications to view and edit files of many
-common types, and when you select a file containing, say, a document
-or image, &konqueror; will start an appropriate application to
-display the file. If it does not know what application to start to open
-a file you selected, &konqueror; will prompt you for the name of the
-application to run, and when you have chosen, &konqueror; will offer
-to remember your choice for the next time you open a file of that type.

-<title>Dragging and Dropping Icons</title>
-
-<para>
-To copy or move a file, simply drag its icon to the desktop, to
-another &konqueror; window, or to a folder icon. When you release the
-button, &konqueror; displays a menu to allow you to choose to copy,
-move, or create a link to the file.
-</para>
-
-<note>
-<para>
-Note that if you choose to create a link, &tde; creates a &UNIX;
-symbolic link (not a hard link), so if you move or delete the original
-file, the link will be broken.
-</para>
-</note>
-
-<para>
-Most &tde; applications also support drag and drop operations: you can
-drag an icon on to a window of a running application, or on to an icon of

-<para>
-&MIME; types are a way of describing the contents of files. You might
-be used to using file extensions for that purpose, and you might know

-relation to the contents of the file. On the other hand, it might be

-will not operate on files that are not named <literal
-role="extension">.gz</literal>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-&MIME; types naturally make use of filename patterns, but not
-necessarily the extensions - you can set up any filename pattern you
-like. For example, if you always want to open any files relating to a
-particular client with &kate;, and you make a habit of naming the files
-with the client's name at the beginning so that they naturally group in
-the &konqueror; window, then you can set up a filename pattern that
-matches <literal>^<replaceable>clientname</replaceable>*</literal>.
-Then any files that have <replaceable>clientname</replaceable> at the
-beginning (the <token>^</token> character means <quote>starts with...</quote>) and
-without any regard to the rest of the filename.
