kde4.7 from R47 Panel issue

English Applications
1

Can anyone using kde4.7 from R47 repo please try creating a new user and see if you get this with the panel.
SUSE Paste

My current user is fine, which came through the upgrade from 4.6

Thank you

I can’t confirm on a new user, Caf, but that’s what I get on my own. The launchers disappear when I close the application, and I can’t permanently remove them.

The pager appeared when I added another virtual desktop. The default now seems to be one.

Umm…

Something else sucks here.
I just tried Effects in my normal user and I got the: SUSE Paste

The new user however is OK !

i don’t know about the KWIN effects, but the point with the pager and the
dis/appearing launcher for default file manager & broser are explained

Thanks for the useful link, phanisvara. That explains a few things, at least.

I’ve got that too after upgrading from the 4.6 to the 4.7 release repo.
I removed those launchers by (i think) editing the plasma-desktop-appletsrc
file in ~/kde4/share/config/

I searched for dolphin and firefox in that file with kwrite and deleted the
applet responsible.
Can’t remember what it’s called though.

Since i couldn’t remove it from the panel like other applets, i did it the
old fashion way.

Good thing that kde have very readable config files :slight_smile:
