''TheBlackCat'' I understand with Lancelot, but with spell checker, why can't you just have a text field always visible that you can paste into? Why do you need to click a button to get a text field? I don't see how that is an inherent part of the work flow when it is on the desktop, rather it seems like an unnecessary step that slows down the use of the plasmoid. | ''TheBlackCat'' I understand with Lancelot, but with spell checker, why can't you just have a text field always visible that you can paste into?

widget size and profile issues / Lancelot in panel
ivan: Lancelot launcher, that is its main window, is a separate process and is not going to be inside desktop nor panel. That is what the Shelf applet is for.
Emdek: Spell Check, it's feature, not bug (part of work flow, text is pasted into when clicking icon).
