-<para>The &kmenu; functions much like the Start menu of &Windows;, however
-it breaks programs up by what they do. Programs on the &kmenu; are broken
-into category menus, such as <guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu> and
-<guisubmenu>Office</guisubmenu>. Under these category menus there are
-subcategory menus, such as <guisubmenu>Sound</guisubmenu>,
-<guisubmenu>Video</guisubmenu> and <guisubmenu>Graphics</guisubmenu>. Under
-the subcategory menus lie program launchers, which, when clicked on, launch
-the associated application.</para>
-
-<para>Depending on the program, there may not be a launcher in the &kmenu;.
-To search your hard drive for more applications, click the &kmenu;, choose
-<guimenuitem>Run Command</guimenuitem> and type
-<userinput><command>kappfinder</command></userinput>. In
-&kappfinder;, click <guibutton>Scan</guibutton>, and the hard drive will be
-searched for programs. Click the checkbox next to each program to be added
-to the &kmenu;, and click <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> and
-<guibutton>Close</guibutton>. The &kmenu; now will have new program
-launchers under the relevant category menus.</para>
-
-<para>Launchers to programs may also be placed on the desktop. To create a
-new launcher, <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the desktop, and
-choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Create
-New</guimenu><guimenuitem>Link to
-Application</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. On the &kdesktop; properties dialog
-box, type in the name of the program on the <guilabel>General</guilabel>
-tab. You may also wish to choose a custom icon by clicking on the gear icon.
-Click the <guilabel>Application</guilabel> tab and type a short sentence
-about the program in the <guilabel>Description</guilabel> textbox. In the
-<guilabel>Command</guilabel> textbox, type the name of the program (case
-sensitive), and any command line options you wish to use. Choose
-<guibutton>OK</guibutton>, and your new program launcher will be created on
-your desktop. Simply click on the new launcher on the desktop and the
- associated program will run.</para>
-
-<para>To launch a program using &konsole;, click the &kmenu; and choose
-<menuchoice><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Terminals
-</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Konsole</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Once &konsole;
-appears on the screen, simply type the name of the program you wish to
-launch (remembering that <application>bash</application>, the command language interpreter that &konsole; uses by default, is case-sensitive) and press
-<keycap>Enter</keycap>. If you are unsure about the name of a program, type
-the first few letters then press the &Tab; key on your keyboard. By pressing
-&Tab;, <application>bash</application> (through &konsole;) will try to guess the name of the program you wish to
-launch. If it finds more then one matching program, a list of
- matching programs will be printed on the screen. Type the name of the
- program from the list and press <keycap>Enter</keycap> to launch.</para>

-<para>Whichever way you choose, launching a program is a simple affair with
-&tde;. From the &kmenu;, to &konsole;, all your programs are just a few

-<title>Configuring Toolbars</title>
-
-<para>Nearly every &tde; application has one or more toolbars at the top of
-the application window, underneath the menu. The toolbar contains icons
-(toolbar buttons) that represent commonly used actions and configuration
-settings. The &kmail; window, for instance, has a toolbar that contains
-buttons for <guiicon>New Message</guiicon>, <guiicon>Check Mail</guiicon>
-and several others. Each of these actions is something you do often, so
-that's why they have toolbar buttons as well as menu entries (<guiicon>New
-Message</guiicon> is under
-<menuchoice><guimenu>Message</guimenu><guimenuitem>New
-Message</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, <guiicon>Check Mail</guiicon> is
-<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Check
-Mail</guimenuitem></menuchoice>).</para>
-
-<para>Not everybody agrees on what actions are commonly used, though, (I
-never use the <guiicon>New Message</guiicon> toolbar button or the menu
-item, I use the keyboard shortcut <keycombo
-action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo>). To ensure that your
-screen isn't cluttered with things you don't need, each toolbar can be
-customized. Additionally, you can usually customize which toolbars are
-displayed and how, as well.</para>
-
-<sect3 id="customizing-toolbar-displays">
-<title>Customizing Toolbar Displays</title>
-
-<para>The easiest thing to customize with the toolbars of any given
-application is whether they are displayed at all. Most applications have a
-<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu>
-</menuchoice> menu where you can select which toolbars are displayed and
-which are not. &konqueror; has four toolbars, <interface>Main</interface>,
-<interface>Extra</interface>, <interface>Location</interface> and
-<interface>Bookmark</interface>. It can be convenient to turn off the
-<interface>Bookmark</interface> toolbar to save
-screen space. To do so, click on the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu,
-choose <guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu>, and then uncheck the
-<guimenuitem>Bookmark Toolbar</guimenuitem> entry (do this just by clicking
-on the menu item).</para>
-
-<para>If there is no <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu, you can also
-<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the toolbar itself, and choose the
-<guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu> sub-menu from the resulting context
-menu.</para>
-
-<para>The same <guimenu>Toolbar</guimenu> context menu, accessed by
-<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking on the toolbar, allows you to
-customize other properties of the toolbar:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem>
-<para>Its orientation, so that instead of appearing at the top of the
-window under the menu bar you can place it on the left, right or bottom of
-the window.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem>
-<para>Its orientation, so that the toolbar <quote>floats</quote> as a
-separate window which you can move independently.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem>
-<para>Its orientation, so that the toolbar is squashed into a little flat
-grip that you can re-open by double-clicking on it (this is subtly
-different from making the toolbar vanish completely, since it it easier to
-cause it to re-appear).</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem>
-<para>The appearance of text alongside, underneath, or instead of the icons
-on the toolbar.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem>
-<para>The size of the icons (if they are not supplanted by
-text).</para>
-</listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-</sect3>
-
-<sect3 id="customizing-icons-on-toolbar">
-<title>Customizing the Icons on the Toolbar</title>
-
-<para>The toolbar is intended for actions that you perform often, so what do
-you do if there is some useless icon there, like <guiicon>Cut</guiicon>? Or
-what if you really want a <guiicon>cut</guiicon> button on the toolbar, but
-the application doesn't give you one? This is where the customize toolbars
-dialog comes in &mdash; it give you complete control over the actions that
-are available on each toolbar.</para>
-
-<para>Choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
-Toolbars</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the application's menu, or
-<guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars</guimenuitem> from the context menu of the
-toolbar itself. This displays the configure toolbars dialog, which consists
-of a combobox <!-- drop-down box? --> with which you can select
-<emphasis>which</emphasis> toolbar to customize, and two lists of items
-&mdash; one of the available actions, and one of the actions that are
-already in use on the toolbar.</para>
-
-<para>Often there are many many more actions available ( <guiicon>activate
-tab #12</guiicon>, for instance) than you would ever want on the toolbar, or
-even that you know exist in the application. The customize toolbar dialog
-can be a learning experience. You can drag actions from one list box to the
-other, rearrange the items on the toolbar <!-- in the list box on the right
-..... not sure if I should be LTR-centric -->, or change the icon for a
-selected action. This allows you to drag the actions you don't want off of
-the toolbar and into the list of available actions; similarly, the actions
-you do want can be dragged into the toolbar. Clicking
-<guibutton>OK</guibutton> in the dialog immediately updates the toolbar with
-your new preferred actions.</para>
-
-<para>There are a few special items that can end up in the listbox for the
-current toolbar:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem>
-<para>separators, which exist in two flavors:
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para><guilabel>line separator</guilabel> appears as a line
-between two action icons</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para><guilabel>separator</guilabel> appears as a larger
-space between two action icons</para>
-</listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem>
-<para><guilabel>&lt;Merge&gt;</guilabel>, which is a special item that
-allows plugins and other loadable components of the application to insert
-their actions into the toolbar as well. It is generally not a good idea to
-remove this, since you cannot get it back.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem>
-<para><guilabel>ActionList:</guilabel>, these appear in various flavors
-(there is a viewmode_toolbar one in &konqueror;) and again these
-represent lists of actions that might be inserted by
-plugins.</para>
-</listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>Whenever you click on an action in the list of current actions, a
-description of it is shown in the dialog. This description will warn you if
-it is a bad idea to remove the action.</para>
-
-<para>If you do not like to drag things around, there are four buttons in
-the middle of the dialog which allow you to move the selected action from
-one list to the other, and to move a selected current action up or down in
-the list. There must be a way to restore the default toolbars in an
-application, in order to recover from accidentally deleting an important
-action like <guilabel>&lt;Merge&gt;</guilabel>, but I don't know what it
-is.</para>
