Thanks for replying Michael, I understand this will remove .kde then what?
Will KDE automatically reinstate a "good" copy of .kde when it launches?
The reason I don't just try it is I went back to 3.3 until I have a
good idea I can get 3.4 up fully. Are you using 3.4?

.... you simply restart the system and when you login as
that particular user, then the kde startup routines
will recreate the .kde directory afresh for that user.
the other option is, instead of removing the .kde directory
for that user is to rename it, so you can copy any data you
have in that orig user directory:
[shell] mv .kde .origkde

I got that anyway. The bad news is, didn't cure the no-system tray
no-taskbar problem. Not sure what recreating the user as Neville also
suggested is going to do, tried making a new user and he didn't have a
system tray or taskbar either.

Thanks for the quick reply, sorry to sound dumb but how do you load the
system tray applet? Or perhaps more important what do you do after
removing .kde or how do you recreate the user?
Thanks again for the answer at least I know it wasn't just me.

Ok now I've screwed it up completely, tried to reinstal the original .kde
that threw up some errors and I couldn't launch the system tray manually
either. Sorry didn't note the error messages. I going to bed now
and think about it some more in the morning.
Thanks for your help so far.

This was a bug in beta1, so you simply have to re-add the things to the
panel. Further, if you want to be able to resize your panel, for some szes
you will have to delete the kickerrc file in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config.
Somehow all of this happens because SuSE keeps a second kickerrc in /etc/...

ftp.suse.com...people...adrian.
I did same as you and KDE beta works but with many errors.

You are right beta 2 does fix this problem but I noticed with my
installation of beta2 that I could not get a USB or PS2 keyboard to work
at all, so had to drop back to original KDE. |
