I've gotten the desktops to show up. For some reason when you "Add/Applet" on the panel you have to choose "Pager" to get them to show up. Odd name, but it works! Some of my desktop shortcuts won't display the icons I choose for them. i.e. OpenOffice - in the shortcut properties, I browse to the OpenOffice directory and choose one of their icons (.png). But it won't show up - all I get is a default icons which look like a notepad or something. Other shortcuts will use whatever I point them to....

Well, I finally managed to connect to a server and upgrade to 3.2. What an experience. After it was done I logged out & tried to restart KDE. It locked up the machine so bad I had to power it off and back on again. Once it restarted and I started KDE, what a mess. The panel had a gear icon for YAST, the control center icon, four clocks, and the lock/logout icons. That's it. No start button etc. Whenever I make a change to the panel in the control center, nothing works. I can stuff by right-clicking on the panel and choosing "Add", but it should work from the control center. Most annoying is that it won't show my various desktops. Anyone know how to get the panel to show desktops? I've tried through the control center, but they never show up???
TIA,

Apparently there's a lot of desirable stuff in the kdebase3-SuSE package that you were advised to remove when you installed KDE 3.2. From what I've been reading, it seems that one is better off *not* to remove it but just to let it be overridden. Among other things, that will get you some icons back. I also have a hunch that some of those weirdnesses you see when you first start up KDE 3.2 are due to configuration files that were sitting in the /tmp directory that should have been removed.

In X it's always been called a pager. :) If you want a neat applet that's more like the desktop pager you can run over to kde-look.org. There is an applet called Kicker Pager which works really well and I think blows away the normal pager. -- Linux User #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
