[opensuse] kde4 - I messed up my panel - what file do I copy from backup?
kde4 Devs, I did something to my panel that caused everything that is supposed to be on the right side (clock, battery, logout/shutdown, systray) to now be in the middle of my panel. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/kde4/plsm-panel-messed-up.jpg I have checked and there is nothing on the right side of these items. One the left side, I have: menu|quicklaunch|pager|taskbar|spacer|systray... My question is which config file controls this?? I have other accounts that I can look at to try and fix my panel, but I'm not sure what config file controls it? I am fairly certain that an errant mouse click & drag pulled something out of my panel that keeps everything aligned, but what to do to get it back to normal?? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

In edit/toolbox mode, hover the empty space and see if it gets a drag handle, or if right click shows 'Panel Spacer' options. If there's no spacer there I guess only forensic analysis of the config file, the panel containment and the geometry of the applets contained within it will tell you why everything is crammed left.

Indeed, task manager was removed. But I still can't understand why it should affect the place of the remaining widgets? It should be possible to place any widget to any unoccupied space independently of other widgets. This was not an issue in KDE3.

My experience was that removing the task manager sent everything from the right hand side of the taskbar to the last object on the left left hand side. Reinstalling the task manager filled the gap and sent the clock etc to the right again - as did installing two spacers that I don't recall the name of.. It would appear that the taskbar fills from the left, for whatever reason.

And requests more 'panel-long-axis' space than it requires, pushing the widgets after it away from the panel origin. Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello: I've just installed the "very improved" KDE factory (4.3.95) version on openSUSE 11.2. At first login adjusting the panel the same happened to me as above. The right side of the panel is empty, everything is pushed to left. This was one of the showstoppers of KDE that panel applets liked to wander. It seems that this issue still hasn't been fixed.

Istvan I also had the same problem. What I did was go to Panel Settings and manually place

Actually, I a) had to move every thing IIRC .. e.g. if the menu icon is ok, move it away and then back, b) I think I had to do this more than once (2 or 3 times) and then it stopped being kludgy. I also had to remove and then re-add somethings. Now it's working ok now without any problems. YMMV HTH, Curtis. -- BEWARE! Spammers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!

You need to place a spacer between the items that you want on the right and the ones that should stay on the left. The spacer will expand to fill the empty space, moving everything else to the sides. 1. Unlock Widgets 2. Open Panel Toolbox (cashew at end of panel) 3. Add Spacer Button 4. Drag spacer to position between panel applets. -- “What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.” - Christopher Hitchens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
