To restart, use Alt+F2
dcop kicker kicker restart
or
dcop kicker Panel restart
"Panel" is a dcop alias for "kicker" but may not be present in your
system.
You can always open an konsole (or an xterm) and type
dcop kicker (now look at list)
then to see what you can do, just add any of the next items listed, e.g.
dcop kicker kicker (now you should see restart())
3. When I unlock the panel, and move round the
icons, it gets totally
messed up. Even if I lock it, the icons keep moving round, and again,
this behavior survives through reboots and shutdowns. When at last I get
my icons to behave, and lock the panel and leave it alone.
Log out of TDE, then switch to another desktop (or use ctrl+alt+f2 to
switch to a text terminal and login) then move or delete kickerrc to force
restoration of the default panel:
mv ~/.tde/share/config/kickerrc ~/.tde/share/config/kickerrc.sav
Now log back into TDE.
For 2 & 3, I have tried killing the panel by
running pkill kicker, then
restarting, but this doesn't work so well. When it does work at all, the
panel appears on only one out of my 20 desktops, and again, this
sometimes persists through multiple reboots.
Of course, TDE settings and configs are persistent and most are stored in
~/.tde/share/config
I will give the rest of these suggestions a try. I dug down deep into the
config files when I ran KDE3, but for the most part I have just copied them
over to the appropriate place in TDE, when I can find them. Sometimes they
have been changed in such a way that I cannot preserve my settings, because
the config files are no longer text files in some instances, but xml and
other extensions.
In any case, I have managed to restore my panel (i.e., kicker, or
kicker-trinity, or maybe it will get renamed ticker?). I'll report my results
after I explore these issues further.
