    Thanks for the contribution, after ubuntu 12.10 I hesitated to go back to windows but I gave kde a chance and the truth is I am fascinated, all the time I lost fighting with unity, cinnamon and I had everything on this desktop.

    When locating me in Default applications - Integrated text editor - this is only an option and it does not allow to change it in any way (graphical) the same in Instant Messaging that there is no option nor does it allow to place anything.
