Bad luck Lisi!
Only as an explanation not that I want you to do it. Obviously Kicker already
is running (even when I can not find a process called like this). I'm not
familiar with the naming but it's either the lower panel or the program that
creates the K-Menue that is called this way.
If you right klick the K-Meue there is an entry "Switch to Kickoff Menue
Style" - there you are, you can switch between the two styles (Classical and
Kickoff) easily. Even if I might not use it in future I've learned from this
thread that it's there and I'm glad about it.

Kickoff comes with all kicker installs you just
need to enable it.
I couldn't even find Kicker by what I would regard as usual means: launcher
(for preference) or menu (if I have to). I found it via locate and ran it
from the command line with the full path. It immediately removed my panel,
then grabbed my desktop and started rolling it off the top of the screen,
leaving me with an ever increasing area of black. I could find no way of
arresting the disappearance, so I opened up a terminal, praying that at
least alt-ctrl-Fx would work. It did.
I logged in, entered init 6, crossed my fingers, said my prayers and barely
dared to look. On the whole I find that Kx applications that are running
when I shut TDE down, open up again when I next boot. I was already
planning on using my husband's computer to get at Gmail direct to plead for
help in reclaiming my GUI (I usually use KMail and POP3), when to my
delight TDE opened up with no trace at all of Kicker. I don't intend to
risk opening Kicker again, even just to look at it!
Is this what you mean by bugs??!
Kick-off I have seen on KDE 4 and don't like it. Which is lucky, since I
apparently can't have it. ;-)
Sorry I didn't chime in sooner. I am all for
keeping it, but that
means that it needs to work well. Not freeze, not crash, and be very
stable. If that is not the case, someone needs to work on it. if
nobody wants to work on it I don't think it is appropriate to ship
something that is unstable.
If it is there anyway, why does Alexandre keep asking for it? (That's a
rhetorical question.)
