KDE Panel

[Brett I. Holcomb]

If what Mike suggests doesn't work then rename ~/.kde (or whatever it's 
called - Caldera called it .kde2).  Clean out /tmp.  Then restart KDE 
and let it build a new ~/.kde.  You then can copy app settings from the 
old ~/.kde so you don't have to set up mail,etc again.

I haven't used KDE since 2.2.x and that's one reason I gave up on it. 
It was big and it had these mysterious hickups.  The solution given was 
to do as I outlined above.  Some of us joked on the mail lists that we 
would write keystroke macros to do this!  I got tired of rebuilding my 
~/.kde2 directory periodically - if I want that kind of stuff I'll go to 
my Windows machine <G>.  When I changed distros I used xfce4 and it 
works great!
