TDE on Arch - kicker config window empty and no Shutdown option.

Hello all. This is my first post on the list. Can I start by saying I have only just heard of TDE and I am very happy. For me this DE is one the best today. But one or two issues are stopping me from switching to it permanently. My first problem is this: When I right-click on kicker panel and select Configure Panel, in the new window that opens I only see options for configuring Taskbar (in the left column). Nothing for Appearance or kicker position on the screen. Can anyone help? My second problem is: I do not see any option in the menu for Shutdown, Suspend or Hibernate. I only see Logout. I have enabled the options in kcontrol. Sorry if this post lacks detail but I am sending it from Cinnamon Desktop, so I can't be more detailed. Thanks to all those involved in developing this DE!
