Now I'll try to update with YaST, in the hope I can recover the menu.
I should mention, however, that the installation in the laptop machine also has a lack on the panel -- the logout button at the extreme right end was missing, and I replaced it with one of the widgets (applets). So although it omission was a different one, the fact is that the panel was populated differently on two very different machines.
This missing menu and/or missing things on the task bar are not normal.. in every single KDE4 install I've done (and it has been a lot this time around), they are all fine.. all buttons and widgets are there. We need to sort out why your is different. I can say with full confidence, that missing menu buttons etc are not a broken feature of the openSUSE KDE4 install... something is wrong in your setup... your hardware... or your install itself.
On two very different machines. What they have in common is the DVD from which they were installed. On the desktop machinen, perhaps there might be a problem with the HD on which the 11.2 was installed. The two OSes are on different HDs. That's an appealing idea, because I think that was the HD on which v10.3 was installed, and it had _occasional _instability of the same kind. I can't do more today, because it is going on midnight and I am pooped. I'll explore both these directions in the coming days. Meantime Thanks to all.
Have you tried creating a new test user? Your mouse is acting up... use YaST from CLI to add a new user.. log in as that user... KDE4 still broken?
I'll touch that base too, just for completeness... -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
