This is what appears in my kickerrc when I add the xmms applet [Applet_5] ConfigFile=xmmskde_y5b1w3q6zhbyutee9wg_rc DesktopFile=xmms-kde.desktop FreeSpace=1 WidthForHeightHint=72 It is very strange that your rc-file doesn't contain a reference to it. Are you sure you're looking at the correct file? ~/.kde2/share/config/kickerrc on my installation One thing I discovered: right-clicking *in* the applet only starts up xmms here. I have to click just on the edge of the applet, and then it's very easy to miss and click on the applet next to it instead. Could it be that when you 'remove'd xmms you accidentally removed systray instead? Regards Anders On Saturday 26 May 2001 14:44, Clayton Cornell wrote:

One of the apps I can load is XMMS (X Multimedia System - a media player). Nice, but not necessary so I tried to remove it. Problem is, when I right click on it and say Remove, it doesn't go away. Instead, the System Tray disappears.
I can kill Kicker, and restart it, but the System Tray does not reload. XMMS is still hanging around. If I logout/login the System Tray reappears, and XMMS is still there. XMMS is not checked in the list of active applets in the config menu either. I can't find any reference to XMMS in kickerrc or anything it refereces either.
Hmmmm not in the ps output at all. If I start XMMS by clicking on the XMMS applet in the Task Bar, it shows up in ps -e and ps aux. I can kill the process and the application closes, but the applet stays there.
I can start a second XMMS as a Kicker applet and it behaves normally. The appletproxy process shows up exactly like above. I can exit it by right clicking and selecting Remove (or by killing the process). The original XMMS still hangs around and refuses to leave.
I have tried a logout/login, full reboot (on the off chance this would help) and searched for a config file for Kicker. All I come up with is kickerrc and it is clean - no references to XMMS.
I have searched at kde.org but came up with nothing. So the problem is still there, and no solution in sight.
