I suggest you have something else horribly hozed, and given that there are only 6 people >on the CC list it seems you are in the distinct minority. KDE4 is defective by design.

When it is not possible to add to the panel manual hide buttons by adding few lines of code, and even by more serious hacking - defective by design.

When it is not possible to set the panel clock font size for the hour and date independently - defective by design.

When it is not possible to set the panel size by exact number, only by dragging - defective by design.

When it is not possible to mount devices onto the desktop - defective by design.

When it is not possible to remove some idiot icon from the corner - defective by design.

I guess the list goes on.

One of the most cock-ups in the is world is what god (called God by those who call him/them God) is when he (or He/Them) "created" some animal called "man". Wot a disaster! One would have thought that "God" would have the intelligence - "He/They" knows everything you know but don't broadcast this.... - to create "man" with all the features which "God" had - afterall we are told that "God" created "man" in his "own image". But alas and alack, nobody it seems is perfect. And so it is understandable that those who wrote KDE are as bright as "God" that is, they keep getting things wrong. But, unlike "God" they can get the bugs fixed in a short time: a week or two or three....... But after thousands of years or more God still hasn't fixed the stupidity of "man".
