Cannot right-click on Desktop in KDE 4.2

chriscrutch · January 28, 2009, 12:17am

I just upgraded my Suse 11.1 installation to KDE 4.2. So far, so good, except for a couple things. The text in the panel is very difficult to read. I figured a theme change would help, and that led to the next problem. I can’t right-click on the dekstop in order to get to the setting to change the plasma theme. I also can’t change my wallpaper, etc.

Is there a fix for this right-click issue, or another way to get to the plasma settings so I can change the theme?

Thanks!

Restart twice the computer. For me to work

Well, I feel kinda stupid. That did the trick. Thank you.

You might want to try resetting the plasma settings by deleting wherever they’re stored, I can’t seem to find the place… but some googling probably does the trick.

I usually just do a mv .kde4 .kde4old from the commandline to start with ‘fresh’ settings to avoid problems.
