You can drag and drop items in KDE from one area of the desktop to
another, drop items in folders or on applications, and move or copy
information and applications.
When you drag an item by holding down the left mouse button, then
release the button over the desired location, you'll find a menu of
actions you can take. You can copy the item into the location (which
will preserve the original item), you can move the item to its new
location, or you can create a link from the item in its new location to
the original item. This last option is somewhat similar to copying;
however, when you copy the item, the original item remains unchanged if
you modify the copy. When you link an item, any changes you make to the
item in one location are reflected in the item at its original location.
You can also drag applications, such as Netscape
Navigator, from the desktop and drop them onto the
panel, creating a quick launcher. To remove an item from the panel,
right-click on the item, and select
. Removing an application from the panel will
only remove the link and icon, not the actual application.
