Hello,

Does anyone know why the entire menu, tool bar and system tray goes away after running updates?

It certainly doesn't, not in general and not when things are working correctly. I've never seen that symptom.

Look in you ~/.xsession-errors for some indication of what went wrong.

Also, it's always good to give details about your system (software version, KDE vs. Gnome vs. something else), what you did (did you use the tray-based updater to install the updates, or do it via the YaST module?), etc.

Sorry, Randall, it does - this has happened on at least two 10.2 machines of mine, but I haven't tracked down which update was responsible yet. I have noticed, though, that moving the .kde folder out of the way so that a new one is created seems to get kicker working normally again.

To the OP, the easiest way to deal with this (without moving your .kde folder, which means re-entering all your user data) is to go to ~/.kde/Autostart, and run: ln -s /opt/kde3/bin/kicker kicker That will mean that kicker gets started independently each time the desktop launches.

This once happened on my opensuse 10.2 machine. It was caused by a .desktop file in the .kde directory; if I remember correctly it was kcmkicker.desktop and contained only 2 lines without an Exec line, which caused kicker not to launch when logging in. I hope this helps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
