I have been using Gnome ever since I switched to Linux but am now

I have resolved most questions except for the following:
1) How can I hide backup files (*~) in Konqueror and Krusader?
Good question. I think there used to be some kind of input for filtering, but
I can't find it at the moment.
Might have been moved to a config file only setting.
2) When I run Galeon and Evolution, none of the icons are showing
(except Trash and a couple of others.) I have a feeling that this might
be the case because these two applications take their application icons
from /usr/share/pixmaps?
They should still find their icons, they run independent from KDE. Maybe they
are expecting some kind of environment they are not able to start themselved,
e.g. gconf daemon or something like that.
3) Drawers a la Gnome Panel don't exist as far as I can see. Is this
correct? (I'm sure you are sick of the question ;-))
I think not in the same sense. You can add submenus of the KMenu and a quick
browser that lists the contents of a certain directory.
But I haven't used drawers at all, so I might be thinking of a completely
different thing :)
4) I would like a "create symlink" in Konquerors context menu (as is
available in Krusader and Nautilus).
If you drag&drop into a different directory, you'll get a context menu
allowing you to create a link instead of move or copy.
If you want to do it in the same directory, hold CTRL+SHIFT when dragging
(should also work across directories, but in this case it is required since
otherwise the drag only moves the icon)
5) I notice that KDE applications have an up and a down arrow at the
bottom of a vertical scrollbar. Can one get rid of the up arrow by any
chance?
That is part of how a particular style renders scrollbars. It might be
configurable for your current style or you could try a different one that
doesn't do this.
6) Folder + Wastebasket Icons on the desktop or when using Icon View in
Konqueror, do not change appearance when dragging a file across (to
indicate the drop position). Both Winblows and Nautilus darken the
folder and Trash icon when dragging and dropping. Is this a bug or a
feature?
No idea, sorry.
7) Is it possible to have a shared Wastebasket between KDE and Gnome?
That should already work. KDE3.5 implements the trash specification GNOME and
KDE developers agreed on through freedesktop.org.
There could of course be bugs in either implementation.
Cheers,
Kevin
