Thanks. Mine occasionally does as you describe, and I
do as you suggest --
I change the size from full width to something else, then back again, hit
Apply, and yes, it restarts. This has been an issue for *years.*
But it didn't work for the disappearing taskbar text. Which required me to
logout and login again, on my system a nontrivial task. (In addition to
interrupting existing processes it fubarred my VPN connection, which took
until just now to diagnose and fix.)
I love TDE. It doesn't always love me back.
Hello dep,
instead of logging out and back in, maybe you could try the following command
the next time it happens:
$ dcop kicker kicker restart
This should restart the panel only - maybe this suffices to fix that error.
Additionally, you could try to explicitly specify the maximum width of the
taskbar buttons:
$ kwriteconfig --file $TDEHOME/share/config/ktaskbarrc \
--group General --key MaximumButtonWidth 200
$ dcop kicker kicker restart
(value of 200 is the default for the kicker taskbar, so it shouldn't change
anything visually from the default config)
Best regards, Leskala
