Using kde 3.5.9. under suse11.00 I am now experiencing some strange
behavior.
Running applications no longer appear in the panel and when attempting
to minimise an application it is closed (apparently) without any change
in the panel, which is always empty on the right hand side. This also
seems to result in a very slow start-up. I have so far been unable to
rectify this situation so can anybody offer suggestions please.

I was playing with the settings in
control centre -> desktop -> taskbar
which has settings for selectively showing/hiding items and got a
similar effect. You haven’t (accidentally) changed anything there?
It didn’t change the startup timing though

Hi again
Many thanks for the suggestion but it has lead me to another
problem - I did not notice it before but I have discovered that there is
no kde icon on the panel/taskbar and I cannot access the kde control
centre I have looked at yast but to no avail, I would appreciate any
suggestions as to what I can do now. –

Right click to your panel and select Add Applet to Panel, into search
type: K Menu. Add it to the panel. You’ll find Control Center under
Favorites.
HI
Thanks for the replies. I do have an application launcher on the
taskbar but with a different (Green Gecko) icon it does not, however
give me a ‘KDE Control centre’ option. It has a ‘config. desktop’ option
which does nothing. Other apps. including Kdevelop work ok but no longer
allow minimisation or reside on the panel/taskbar. I have not yet
approached the Raiden’s Realm option which seems somewhat hazardous.
All the best Hector Gordon
