Tutorials/KDE3 to KDE SC 4

KDE 3 features missing in KDE4

Automount of USB devices

In KDE 3 you could choose to have usb devices mounted automatically upon plugin. In KDE4.1 this is no longer possible.

Workaround: Use an automount mechanism outside of KDE4, e.g. manually edit hal configuration files and/or add the devices to /etc/fstab.

Auto-hide Panels

Kicker in KDE3 used to have an option to autohide. In KDE4.1 this is currently not possible.

Workaround: None. Implementation planned in KDE4.2
