I want to produce in the kde4 panel something like the behavior that I found effective and useful in kde3 panels. What was done then was to arrange on a second panel at the top of the screen icons representing the apps and utilities that I used routinely, so that loading one of them was a simple matter of reaching up with the mouse and clicking on whatever I needed.
As far as I have been able to find, the panel in kde4 doesn't lend itself to containing anything but a limited set of "widgets". Clicking in an unoccupied region of a panel with MB2 (called by right0handed people "right-click") brings up the following list of items: Add Widgets, Add Panel, Lock Widgets, Panel Settings, and Remove this Panel. Nothing about non-widget objects. For that matter, nothing about moving even a widget from one location to another on the panel -- where is falls is where it has to remain. I am sure that I am missing something, because I do not believe that functionality can have been removed, thus rendering the panel a far less useful thing. What is it that I am missing?
Right clicking on any program in the start menu brings a pop-up menu with one of the options being "add to panel". Works just fine.
