| $ kwriteconfig --file $TDEHOME/share/config/ktaskbarrc \
| --group General --key MaximumButtonWidth 200
| $ dcop kicker kicker restart

Thanks. I suspect that the first thing you mention would be of use on the
occasions kicker seems to die entirely, when I start kcontrol, change
something in panels, change it back, hit "apply" and all is well. The
random decision by the taskbar to rid itself of text is something
different. It happens rarely, but when it does it's a problem that
restarting kicker won't fix. It has happened two or three times now, over
several years. It's unlikely to have anything to do with button width,
because what was now missing had been there before, so it's not a
configuration issue in and of itself.
