Another thought is that something like this that has happened once can always happen again, and perhaps I should think about junking KDE altogether, and try Gnome. A small survey of administrators of enterprise Linux systems has told me that KDE is considered flakey (which I am now prepared to believe).
That's really odd - for me kde has been solid, while I have seen the panel disappear on gnome. I started using kde full time in 2004 when I switched from redhat to suse.
Also someone posted here yesterday the observation that he has also seen disappearances like this happen (I have to say that I have never seen such a thing in any of the other OSes either I or my neighbors have operated). Who knows? Maybe Gnome is more stable; it is certainly worth a try.
How can I go about removing KDE and starting Gnome, while causing minimum disturbance to the installed application software?
Why would you need to remove kde? Simply choose gnome at the login screen, if that's what you prefer. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
