Greetings all;
I did get it restarted but it was quite a dance. And I think changing the screen background was what killed it. It disappeared when I clicked on apply to change the background. But I just changed the background to half the supplied photos w/o it happening again.
But it happened. This might be a place to write a script to relaunch if it disappears from the process list. I hope it doesn't happen frequently.
Just saying I guess. Bit of a puzzle to navigate ones workspaces by ctl+F#.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

I should add, that it was also gone from the list htop shows, as I have a habit of running a root session of htop as one of the "background things I find handy to kill an errant process with. So it was well and truly gone, and I restarted it from a konsole.

When it happens, from konsole you should be able to use dcop to restart it with:
$ dcop kicker Panel restart
or
$ dcop kicker kicker restart
You can list the available options with, e.g.
$ dcop kicker Panel
or
$ dcop kicker kicker
and you should see:
void restart()
available for each.

msg marked, important, but kmail pulldowns menu bar is also missing, I had to right-click in message list to mark it. How do I get that pulldown stuff back at the top of kmail?

You can see what is available to dcop simply by typing dcop at the command line, e.g.
$ dcop dcop konqueror-3300 kwin kicker kate-3345 kded kmix knotify kalarmd klauncher knotes khotkeys kmail <== Ahah! kdesktop konsole-3368 klipper ksmserver kgpg knetworkmanager basket
Then you work your way down the dcop chain, e.g.
$ dcop kmail qt ConnectionManager KDebug KIMProxyIface KIO::Scheduler KMailICalIface KMailIface (default) KPIM::IdentityManager MailTransportServiceIface MainApplication-Interface html-widget1 kmail kmail-mainwindow#1 ksycoca
There is a whole lot you can do with KMailIface, kmail-mainwindow#1 (the current window), and MainApplication-Interface -- but unfortunately there is nothing menu specific. It is pretty amazing all that is there, but no rabbit to pull out of the dcop hat for kmail menus.

qdbus has no such helpfull interface, but this is the command I use in the script: Cmd="/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail org.kde.kmail.kmail.checkMail"

We should grow a qdbus with those listing capabilities. The above one liner, works about 99.99% of the time.

And the command above works fine. I'd think they would have changed it, but its been working for most of the decade or a bit less that I've been running tde r14. I came to this party at about R14.0.1.
