Err, that should be *succeeded*.  I am not sure how a double click could lead 
to secession.  I've got to pay attention when the spell-check asks me 
questions.

It is a somewhat counterintuitive name, that is for sure.  Also, it behaves 
the opposite of a window shade, sort of.  Oh well.

This is a problem with UIs --features that some people love, some hate -- and 
when you first run into a feature, it can be bewildering.  Especially when 
you don't even know what to call said feature.  

But, unlike the average 'polished' UI, KDE at least lets you tweak a lot of 
these things.  So that if you are patient, you can get the system the way you 
like.

I love all these options -- but that one I don't use.  I thought it was kewl 
for about 5 minutes, and then just found it annoying and turned it off.
