since then the desktop has been in disarray. The "panel" with the desktop icons went away and I can not figure out how to add it back. I
In theory, you should do this to add what used to be called kicker... - unlock widgets - right click on the desktop and click add panel To add widget to the bottom bar - unlock widgets - right click on the panel (bottom bar) and click add widgets To add the desktop widget back - unlock widgets - right click on the desktop and click add widgets - click Folder View and then Add Widget - Configure the widget from the widget itself.. the default view is not the Desktop, but you can set this in the Folder View options. If you want to have the "old" desktop back (ie no floating Desktop folder widget - right click on the desktop and select Desktop Settings. - in Desktop Activity, set the Type to Folder view
Also, the taskbar re-arranged itself (the clock is all the way to the left, etc) and I do not see a way to move the items. It is "unlocked" but if I drag them they do not move, and if I right click there is no "Move" option. In KDE 3.5 you can right click a taskbar item and there is a "Move" option... not so in KDE 4.
To move icons - unlock widgets - right click on the panel (bar) and select panel settings - mouse over each item and you will see a 4 point arrow thing appear - click and drag the 4 point arrow to move the item to your preferred location
P.S. (rant): How the hell does KDE 4 get past alpha stage without these **BASIC** options?
