Damaged Panel

English Applications
1

Oops! My Tray at the bottom got scrunched to the left (I didn’t see how
it happened.). This covered up all of the symbols showing open
applications and left me “driving blind.” I compounded my error by
pressing the “Remove this panel” in the ‘Panel Settings/Add
Widgets/Remove this panel’ window which pops up when one right-clicks on
the panel itself.

I have Linux 2.6.25.20-0.1-default i686 and KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505
“release 15.2”

I have used this 64-bit Linux version successfully for several months.
I’m not making as much progress in understanding all the fine points as
I had hoped, but I have never had a DISASTER like this.

Is there any hope of my seeing the panel in its original, helpful form
again?

You can right click and add a new panel. Then add back all the widgets.
However, as I recall, this is rather clumsy in 4.0.4

You could start a new .kde4 folder then copy all your settings over to
the new one.

To do this press Ctrl-Alt-F1

at the CLI do:

mv /home/username*/.kde4 .kde4old

(* put your username here)

reboot
