Resurrecting an 'oldie'....
I just lost the taskbar--suddenly, without warning and without provocation.
Doing the above produced nothing; I had to use ps aux and kill the PID. Only then did the taskbar appear FOR A BRIEF MOMENT before vanishing again when I did the ALT-2/kicker thing. Rebooting has done nothing to bring it back.
Anyone offer a suggestion on how to get my most important taskbar back, please?
It has been happening to me ever since I installed 10.1, but as I use gnome, I didn't bother.
I would start kde in my old user (new users were fine), the bar would appear, then dissapear. I started kcontrol (alt-f2 or xterm), find the bar configuration thing (I'm not running kde now, and I don't remember the right icon), set it to not to hide, apply, and there it was.
Thanks for this. I just discovered--through necessity :-) -- that ALT-F1 is the same as clicking on Geecko and brings up the menu "where it all happens". (I replaced the ~/.kde directory with the one from my backup and this brought back the taskbar but, of course, it also brought back all the old desktop backgrounds and other now-unwanted settings. This is only a temporary solution and I want to find out how to get the taskbar back by copying back the replaced ~/.kde directory and playing around with its contents. I wonder if there is a current bug report re this yet to be acted on? The wonders of 10.1 never cease :-) .) Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.
