No, no; it's a single movement.  Drag "Application Launcher" straight
to where you want it from the "Add Widgets" menu.  Don't add it to
your desktop first.

1) This is not the thread to voice your displeasure.  This thread
started as a request for help.  Do you remember what the original
problem was without going back and looking at the original email? I
can't, and I doubt the OP will ever figure out a fix to the problem
because of this outburst of "displeasure" from so many users.  If you
really need to get off this "KDE 4 stress" that is weighing you down,
please move it to another thread.
2) Why should I have to filter my email?  I stick around here because
I like to help (aren't you?).  I shouldn't have to waste my time
filtering out irrelevant (off-topic) messages.
3) "The shoe fits"? I'm not sure I understand your metaphor.  If you
are trying to say that your opinions about KDE 4 are relevant to this
thread, then I'm afraid you're mistaken.  This thread is about the
*OP's* "Problems with KDE4 under Kubuntu Hardy" and not *your*
"displeasures" (as opposed to *actual* problems) with KDE4.
4) I am sorry if you misunderstood my message as "yelling".  I never
meant to discourage you from expressing your opinion.  I was trying to
suggest that this isn't exactly the thread to do so and my
"displeasure" at this thread verging off onto the wrong path.  Am I
not allowed to express my displeasure at you expressing your
displeasure (for the sake of where you are doing it)?
5) I am not the "guardian" of KDE 4.  I have my own displeasures with
it, but I never mentioned them (which, I believe, is exactly the
point).

P.S. I am not trying to play the cop in any of this and I'm not trying
to be controversial.  I'm just begging for some logic.
