[gentoo-user] kde panel hiding behind something...

[gentoo-user] kde panel hiding behind something...

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi again, and thanks for the kde help so far.

This time, I created a new panel (I can't remember the type, something
like a window dock panel?) which appears on the right of the screen,
full length.

I pressed the main panel "hide" button, and it slid behind this new
blank panel.  Now I can't get to the main panel, because it's hiding,
and the blank panel can't be moved or deleted (by any means I can tell)
There's no right-click menu on it, no dragging, it just sits there
blankly...

how can I get rid of it?

many thanks,

Have you tried to move it through Control Center --> Desktop --> Panels?

Strange, but maybe it will respond to right-click after change of
place...

I can't get to the control center because I can't get to any menu's with
the application launchers and settings.  All I can do is right-click >
run command, but I can't find a command for the control center...

To get to menu press ALT + F1, and the command is kcontrol.

Others have already given the command, but you can also right-click the
desktop, select Configure Desktop, go to Behaviour and set the left or
middle mouse button to pop up the Application Menu when you click the
desktop. Then you can run anything without the panel.

thanks, I ended up "unhiding" the main panel as soon as I logged in (the
"Dock Application Bar" didn't show up till a bit later) so I can now
access kontrol, etc.

However, I still can't get rid of it.  Oh wait, I can get rid of it by
right clicking on the main panel and selecting "remove panel".

So what's the "dock application bar" for anyway?  It doesn't seem to do
anything useful...

thanks,

You want it in one line?  Does it have to fit in 80 columns?   :-)
