Qt-subapplication

There is a desktop effect that I use a lot.  I multi-task a lot, sometimes 20 
open applications.  The zoom out until all the applications show and are not 
overlapping feature is just great.  I would rather have the zoom-out feature 
than remove the Qt-subapplication, if that is what is required to remove it.

Dear Willy, this is exactly what I needed.  Unfortunately it has been a while 
since I reconfigured the current kde.  I have saved emails, many of your recent 
ones in a file with your name that contain information I don't want to lose 
along with many others.  Additionally, I am working through a strange bug 
problem with system plasmoids that the developers may wish me to keep active 
for a while.  I don't know what the names of the folders are that contain this 
information, or I could save them to a disk. 

Under Local Folders in Kontact, I have created a folder with the name of each 
author of something I wanted to save.  There are seven in the current issue of 
kde and probably 50 in the old issue of kde.  Also, I saved some pictures and 
downloaded a few movies.  The photographs are important, but I suppose I could 
download the movies again if need be.  

Foolish me; it just occurred to me that I have an unused partition that I can 
save the stuff to, which is unaffected by the kde change.  If you know the name 
of the folder that I need to copy from the current Kontact, I would appreciate 
that info.  Sorry to be such a trouble to you, friend.  I just can't learn 
fast enough.

I also think the plasmoid problem is a stinker that needs to be addressed 
while noticed.  I posted the problem as well as made a bug report, so if you 
will take a look at it, maybe you can advise me what I should do.  I checked 
and the bug had not yet been reported.  I can see why, too.  Each multiple 
installation of a plasmoid is directly behind the other and probably will go 
unnoticed.  I think it may be the cause of several unexplainable crashes that 
I have experienced, none of which seem to damage the system, but require 
attention.
