Get panel back in KDE?

[Guest_imported]

Somehow I lost my Panel (95-ish "taskbar&quot in KDE and don't know how to get it back. The help didn't seem to mention how to do that. Any ideas? I'm run the X and KDE that come with Debian Woody. Thank you!

I noticed that some Xwin programs tend to open a session for the Desktop AND a session for the task bar. Hitting alt+tab in windows will show you...

good luck,

the command, if you need it, is 'kpanel'

Alrighty, I tried alt-tabbing around right after starting but it says 'no tasks'. Also I don't seem to have a 'kpanel' file on this system.

What's odd is that the panel kinda pops up then goes away as KDE starts.

Is the there anything on the screen like a color background and/or taskbar? You may want to check the desktop settings in the user home directory /home/"user"/Desktop. There should be files that have a kdlink extension. If the user is one you created, try creating another user with useradd and check the desktop. If it works, copy the same settings to the broken user's desktop. If it is the root user, /etc/skel has a copy of the default desktop for users. You can try copying the skel desktop to the roots Desktop subdirectory. Had a similar problem caused by a keystroke combination that I was never able to duplicate, but used the above to correct the problem.

Also you may want to ask this question in the Linux Desktop forum (forum619 you may get better responses there
