Because the newer version has a plugin for Konq and the rest of KDE. :) It's to make it easier on newbies. If you don't want it then go into the preferences and remove it. If you don't want it on the panel remove it as you would any other applet. :) It's a feature not a bug. :) Cheers! * Patrick (penguin0601@earthlink.net) [021106 15:26]: ->Question! -> ->Why is KBear suddenly showing up in my Konq windows and putting a KBear ->icon in my systray since updating to SuSE 8.1? The kbear icon in Konq ->is quite alright and not a problem in the toolbar, but for each new ->konq opened, there appears a new kbear icon in the systray!! What is ->doing this and how can you stop it? A bug in the latest KDE somewhere? ->It wouldn't be as bad, if the systray icon went away with the konqs as ->you close them, but those just hang out in the systray. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
