I did a fresh install of 11.1 on a friend's computer. I backed up his home directory and deleted everything in it after this problem first appeared (then selectively restored things like .mozilla and .thunderbird, etc.)
The problem that has happened through two new installs is: The system does not initially display a panel bar at the bottom of the screen (or anywhere else either), it only displays a very limited menu of a few applications on the screen.

Nothing specific, but there are a few things you can do with a misbehaving KDE4. First... have you upgraded to 4.3.1? or are you trying to run 4.0.3? Second, and I found this was almost mandatory - and easy since you have a clean install - delete either all of .kde4 and .kde or at the minimum the rc config files in .kde4 to force KDE4 to reset to factory defaults. This generally clears up almost all odd weird issues - particularly ones that crop up from upgrading from 4.0.3 to 4.3.1.

Thanks! When I did my own install, SuSE automatically connected to the net and upgraded KDE4. When I did my friend's install, even though SuSE found the net, it did NOT do the upgrade. When I performed the upgrade by hand, the problems went away. Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
