KDE Panel

[koko]

Thanks to all for your comments.  I guess if I am going to try to compile 
anything, I should go for the Linux 2.6 kernel, then worry about 
experimenting with desktops.  As I look into upgrading to 2.6, I see many 
comments about making the compile from 2.4.  Since I'm still on 2.2-10, do I 
need to go to 2.4 and then 2.6, or can I jump from here?
