In the above case you would still click on OFF when you want it to be ON, since the position of the button shows the state. This works pretty nicely on the iPhone where you slide the on and off states around but not in this scenario where you just click. So "moving from off to on" is not what is happening here. Generally, if you had only one button (for whatever reason), it should always show the action as text and not the state, since a button's text always shows the outcome of its interaction and nothing else.

Very nice. Now, if there was a pkgmgr interface (either rpm or deb), I'd be in heaven. YES!

I find the buttons confusing, not knowing what state currently is active and what not. Apart from that, nice work mates!

So the widget, in this case, should reflect the state (on/off, running/not running) not the action (start/stop). Then the action performed by the user is implicit and expected when moving it from one state to another. For example, user changes it from "off" to "on" means "turn it on". The KDE HIG is currently not in the best state. It’s a simply fix to remove the ambiguity:

Intuitively I would have said, I need to click on the stop button to stop but it's the other way round.

At my laptop I only want to run apache while I'm coding for my site. Off course I could do a 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start' but that's not something which would attract the Mac / Windows user base (and I'd agree with them). This seams to fill in yet another missing gap. :) Woot! :)
