>I rarely use my desktop because that would mean closing windows And? In Windows, Win+D show the desktop (iconifying all the window) and I've configured KDE to do the same (there's probably a native shortcut but I don't know it) if you don't like keyboard shortcut you can have an icon in the taskbar to do the same thing, easy no? As for the plasmoid, I don't understand how plasmoid are different from 'pinned windows': windows that wouldn't be iconified in the 'close all' shortcut and kept in the background. Why KDE needed to have something totally different instead of 'pinned windows'? Also I agree that recoverable state should be something ubiquitous (system wide) but Firefox is a poor example as it doesn't do it nearly as well as it should: if you close a window by mistake you can't undo it (unless it was the only one opened).

Actually, yes you can. There's an extension that does just that. I don't run it as I don't need it (I prefer a real delete to trash, for the same reason), but I've come across it going thru the extensions list. Duncan
The critics are wrong: KDE 4 doesn't need a fork (ars technica) Posted Jul 3, 2008 11:30 UTC (Thu) by renox (guest, #23785) [Link] Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, this still doesn't make Firefox a good example for recoverability as this feature should be available by default.
"Undo Close Tab" in Firefox Posted Jul 3, 2008 11:52 UTC (Thu) by dash (subscriber, #6182) [Link] As a matter of fact, Firefox is a good example of recoverability, as "Undo Close Tab" has been an available-by-default feature since v2.0. Right-click on the tab bar and it is one of the choices on the menu.

"Undo Close Tab" in Firefox Posted Jul 3, 2008 13:41 UTC (Thu) by renox (guest, #23785) [Link] Yes, 'undo close tab' but not 'undo close window'(by default) so this isn't a good example to follow as it is incomplete.

Not on mine. Iceweasel V2.0.0.1. (Ah! Now I know the difference between Iceweasel and Firefox!)
