Kde Taskbar Applet

[pagal]

hi,

for some strange/unknown reason the taskbar applet won't take all the empty space on the panel. Can anyone help?

it looks like it's set to be 3 buttons wide fixed.

look in options to change that..

[pagal]

which options?

I have looked everywhere!

i have the same problem in red hat 8.0 ... mxxxcon could you please explain a bit more .. i don't know what options you are talking about either..

trpn, MxxCon told me that he didn't really know (through pm). However, I can tell you how I "fixed" it. Well, just login as root and delete everything from /home/user/.kde and it'll reset everything.

ok i figured out how to do this with deleting your .kde dir (also it didn't work for me)

i believe the problem is because redhat made some parts for kicker to include the icons for the programs you install ie kmail, openoffice, web browser. But if you don't install them, the part of kicker that was supposed to display the icon doesn't disappear. So we are left with parts of kicker that have something there, but we can't see them.

anyways, go to ~/.kde/share/apps/config/kickerrc and edit the line under [general]

it should say sometihng like kmenubutton_1, servicebutton_2, servicebutton_3, etc...

delete the "servicebutton" entries and resart kicker before using it again.
