“One problem I’ve had with KDE 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 was the
braindead way that the application icons were sorted on the Kickoff
menu. Having the application icons sorted by description rather
than the name of the program was very difficult to follow. (Instead
of looking for “Firefox” to launch your web browser for example,
you would instead look for it under “Web Browser”). I’m happy to
announce that after I have bugged the KDE developers about this
issue and mentioned the problem in countless articles and reviews,
there is finally a way to configure the menu to sort the
applications by name. Hallelujah! It may sound like a small thing
to be excited about, however if you’ve used KDE 4 you probably
already know what I’m talking about and how annoying it
was.”
