trying to use KDE 4.10.x I decided after finding none I wanted to put a Firefox icon next to the Konq icon on the (only) kicker (aka panel). I was eventually able to put one near the clock, but after more than 5 minutes monkeying with it failed to figure out how to place one or move one where I wanted it and gave up.
If I could understand what you're trying to do I'd offer to help...
IIR one KDE4 systems I installed had a FF icon on the bottom panel, but I moved it to the menu's 'favourites.
Environment: 12.2 all Intel 32 bit minimal X plus cups, samba & nfs selected during installation; many *splash*, Plymouth, gtk/gnome things tabooed and/or deselected to cut installation & update times for things never used or wanted solver.onlyRequires = true in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf minimal KDM4/KDE4 added on first boot (to "runlevel 3") (all via zypper & not via patterns; konsole, konq, ksnapshot, kcalc) plus "MozillaFirefox" zypper up to include latest KDE4 from standard 3 repos (oss, non-oss, updates) panning fix applied via build service global disable compositing and unforce 96 DPI via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ new "user" (aka no previous customizing of desktop settings) On first open: no Firefox icon appears on panel I change starter to classic style I delete (never to be used) "activities" icon from panel I change desktops in pager to (at least) 4 I configure task manager with no sorting or grouping I add seconds and iso date to clock display I configure desktop (fix Locale, increase font sizes, stop requiring exit confirmation, fix keyboard NUM and timings, configure power "saving" to 120 minutes; configure application launcher menu settings to >5 recent, no recently installed, & logoff instead of leave) I open and whiten Konsole IIRC, it was Win9x the better part of two decades ago that introduced the taskbar concept of "quick launch" at lower left next to the main menu starter for most used apps. To me that remains the most valid paradigm for most frequently used apps. So, I try to get a Firefox icon for quick starting it placed in this vicinity, but no can do. PS, after using awhile and many exit (without closing Konsole first)/restart cycles of KDE using different X configurations, Konsole about 40% of the time on restart is stuck on panel, unable to be raised to desktop, or closed. Another or more session restarts is required to restore access to this Konsole instance. And, there's still no manual panel hide, and file picker is still a sluggard. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
