Because if

a) you had messed up your personal config in your hone it will not be deleted, of course

b) the package had a bug (no, I don't know if it has one) reinstalling does not remove the problem, how should it?

well it has been working before but than i played around with the configaration of it...

how do you think i can solve my problem? i dont think my whole syst is screwed up, i mean i got cairo-dock working and like all visible before and yer than i played around and now it is gone?

Search and remove the screwed-up config files of course.

(And from now on, BACKUP your configs before you start screwing them up.)

but how do i identify them? like what makes them stand out and where do i look for them?

Search your home for files containing "cairo" or use "grep" to search files in your home containing "cairo".

Read "man grep" and "man find" for more information.

And if you find files matching your search patterns READ them before you delete them or MOVE them instead of deleting.

umm sorry, i am new to linux.. what kind of patterns?

**Akoellh** · 21-Mar-2009, 11:22

Search patterns = "What you are searching for", so if you search for "cairo" your search pattern is "cairo".

So not linux-related at all.

oo righto, thanks, i am not native english speaking, im german so i apologize

Me too, pattern = "muster".

What you can try to have a quick overlook if it's rellay only a configuration problem, is to add a new user via YaST and login as the new user.

If cairo-dock is running there, you only screwed up your personal config.
