Icon dissappeared openSUSE 11

Hi,
I am using openSUSE 11 and I reinstalled Konqueror. For some reason the icon (Show desktop) next to the openSUSE start button on the Kde taskbar dissappeared. It now only shows an “i” with the following message: “This object could not be created”. Is there a possiblility to get it back. Should I reinstall some program in Yast?

Thanks

Delete whatever is there and add a new one

Right click desktop to unlock widgets
Open the Panel from the lower right corner tool box
Add widget - type: show in the search field
Select showdesktop
Then click the add widget
You may have to move it
Then lock the widgets

if you’re using KDE3 you can delete:
~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc
and your whole panel will reset to the factory standard,
when you re-login.
in KDE4 it’s the config file:
~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc

just execute:

rm ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc

in a konsole
or

rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmarc

if using KDE4 and logout.

When you login again, the panel should be reset.

Hi,
I followed your advice regarding the deletion of the config file. Im using KDE 4. I logged out and back in again, but is still have the error on the panel (taskbar). I also have a widget on the desktop with an “i” that has the same error, which states " This object could not be created." It seems asif i am missing some components or programs.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I can e-mail you a screenshot of the error on my desktop if it would make the matter a bit clearer for you.
Thanks
