Running 11.0 64bit with KDE3.5

While I was working with some audio files my taskbar just dissapeared. I have it set at the bottom of the screen with auto-hide. I dragged the mouse down to change to a different desktop and the task bar would not come up.

Checked /var/messages and /warn. Nothing there that I could see.

in case it is still running, kill it and restart

in an xterm window killall kicker

<alt-f2> kicker

Hi Patrick, In my reply to this message I stated that I had to be root. Wrong. that gave me a root kicker that wouldn't open anything. (Geez...how dumb can you get ?) So I did a killall as root and got rid of it. Then I switched back to user and did the "kicker" command. I saw the kicker flash up for a second and then it hid itself again. The mouse to the bottom of the page won't bring it up. So something is corrupted in that kicker config I think. I searched around and found kickerrc and changed autostart hide from true to false restartedd X and it was back. Then I set autohide again and it continues to work. Only the Lord knows why these things happen. Thanks for putting me onthe right track.
