That's all there is to it?!

I'll try it out and let you know.

(But if there is all to this, then why isn't this part of the KDE4.x configuration 'instructions'?

I am starting to believe the observation by one of its developers that (paraphrased) KDE4 doesn't need users for it to work properly.)

Ciao.

Haven't yet tried this (above) as I said I would in my earlier message (last night) but- do you remember mentioning that the panel on the righthand side of the taskbar remained visible for a second after the taskbar itself autohid and I said that I didin't have this problem? Well, I now *do* have this 'hassle'. And it is all because I engaged the "composite" "on" in xorg.conf to be able to enable the Desktop Effects. Test this for yourself by setting "composite" to "off". Ciao. -- Once, in the wilds of Afghanistan, I lost my corkscrew and we were forced to live on nothing but food and water for days.
