…on its own.
It’s a very strange behaviour. I just installed 11.1, downloaded the factory 3.2.90… KDE (because I had more severe problems with the default 3.5.1… KDE), but right from the start (it was a clean install on a 64 bit system with 8 GB RAM) I faced strange problems.
One is that the control panel is far too big, but I guess I have to live with that for now. More important and extremely annoying: The style changes (I don’t know how to set it permanently) with every restart, and the layout changes, too. With every restart of the system, the different areas (beginning from the K-Menu to the windowlist) are positioned opposite to their position of the previous run. I.e.: when the K-menu was at the left at one start, it is on the right at the next start, and then again on the left on the following start etc.
The desktop-changer or switcher (I don’t know the exact word in English, in German it’s “Arbeitsflächen-Umschalter”) which is meant next to the K-menu on the left side, then appears next to the K-menu on the right side, and so on.
I could live with one of the two options, but not with the fact that it’s changing positions at every start. That makes working with the PC extremely difficult, because I always get confused. And I don’t think restarting the desktop just to change this is a good way to solve the problem. There should be other ways.
I looked for other posts which describe this problem, but it’s hard to find appropriate search terms - and I didn’t find anything. So, my apologies in case this has been asked and solved elsewhere already.
