Re: New "feature" after recent "yum update"

Just to clarify, I have never seen this behavior on our Fedora 11
system. It started IMMEDIATELY after the recent updates that pulled
KDE 4.3 in (I run KDE, by the way...)

I have discovered quite a few new things so far after logging back in
after the recent updates. All of them that I have seen so far I
really like. This one I don't care for :) I can see why it could be
a good idea, but I don't like the fact that I am now forced to opt-out
of this new (to me) feature instead of "opting-in"

So my questions are as follows:
1. Where do I change the appropriate setting so that I can get things
back to the way they were before the recent updates?
2. If a new RPM was pulled in with these updates that caused this new
functionality, what is it's name?

I will look for answers to these questions myself as well.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Not much, I'm afraid. I've been using 4.3 for a few weeks now and never seen
this behaviour. You did re-start KDE, I see, but have you tried a reboot, in
case there was something from the old system still running and causing a
conflict?

There are few things in Linux that require a reboot, but I always do one after
a kernel change, and after major changes to KDE.

Hello Anne
First of all, thank you for stepping in on an issue that you yourself have not
even seen yet. That is well appreciated :)
After reading your reply, I rebooted and logged back in to KDE. The result is
exactly the same as I described in my first email on this subject. The
circle/exclamation mark DID NOT return to the applications that had originally
had it and that I had opened before the reboot. That is good :)
Just for a test, I opened one the the applications that still had the
circle/exclamation point over the icon, and the behavior was just like before
the reboot: the application started immediately after I clicked "Continue"

One cool difference that I see after the same set of updates the resulted in the
issue referred to in this thread is the change in the desktop effect "Wobbly
Windows" The wobble doesn't stop after the window is no longer being
moved/resized. It continues to wobble for a few moments... Pretty cool :)

Anyway, I digress...

Thanks again for your help so far,
Steven P. Ulrick
