Two or three times recently--as recent as this afternoon--a whole batch of apps, the icons of which live in the panel, or systray, have piled up at the left-hand side. They don't overlap, but they are all directly to the right of the normal (what I consider normal) icons, which are the smiling ball, desktop1, system settings, YaST, Konsole terminal, and Kate. All the other icons --15, plus the time/date, have moved to the left. What is causing this, and how can I make it stop? (I have moved them back a couple of times, but they no longer stay put.) System is OS-TW, up to date as per 1114. (I think it also occurred before this update.) just mouse click on the desktop and the "icons" will go back to where

That's the first I heard of locking the icon locations, so naturally I do not have them locked. How does one accomplish that? In the meantime, mouse-clicking on the panel does nothing. Sounds like this has happened to others? --doug
You don't mention which desktop environment you are using. But assuming, since you mention Konsole and Kate, you are on Plasma Desktop, you have probably removed either a spacer or the Task Manager from the panel. Right-click on the clock on the panel and click 'Edit Panel...'. If you don't already have the Task Manager installed, go to 'Add Widgets' and install it. Otherwise, click on the 'Add Spacer' item, and then drag the new item using its positioning handles to place it to the left of your System Tray. Then close the Configure Desktop thing at the top of the screen using the cross. gumb
