With the type and select feature implemented in the Folder View Plasma applet, I hope that we finally resolve bug 187241 completely. This makes the applet even more usable than before.
This fix was different in a way that I had my first ever usability discussion with the KDE Usability team over the type and select behavior differing from Dolphin (and in general with anything derived from QAbstractItemView). Finally we concluded that the behavior be modified to match Dolphin's, and thats what the current state is.
The fix will ship with KDE SC 4.5

Since the new Widgets Explorer was added to Plasma, the Add Widgets... options from the Panel context menu was not working. I thought it might be fixed later because Widgets Explorer was in heavy development.

This revision adds the required support to the applet so that navigation to the first and last icons.

Previously, the System Monitor Network Applet didn't label the graphs for the network interfaces, making it difficult to know which graph belongs to which interface. This patch fixed the problem.
