Katapult sounds like it does less than the rest. The reason I started using the deskbar applet was because I missed quicksilver (quicksilver is still superior, imho).

It's a shortcut application launcher, that is so amazingly simple, that it's near psychedelic. in discovery. It's one of the reasons I'm a kubuntu user (the other is konqueror). zblach mentions an improvement on how to do this that I'm definitely going to try later. thanks for throwing a helpful tip in. i always have a hard time remembering how to do this after deleting or renaming a bookmark.

phoenyx – it’s like quicksilver for the mac, if that tells you anything. It’s a shortcut application launcher, that is so amazingly simple, that it’s near psychedelic. in discovery. It’s one of the reasons I’m a kubuntu user (the other is konqueror).

zblach mentions an improvement on how to do this that I’m definitely going to try later.

Is it any different than the deskbar applet? Not being a KDE user, what exactly does Katapult do? Is it any different than the deskbar applet?

However, I find that the gnome applet called deskbar has most of the same functionality. (And on windows, boo, his, I use Google Desktop.) I liked katapult when I was mainly running KDE.

I was thinking about this earlier today, wondering if I needed to restart Katapult or if there was a simpler solution. Thanks for the tip!

But nice to know none-the-less :) I have a feeling this is only because you didn’t install firefox via a deb.
