Since nobody else is answering ... I kept trying to determine what you mean by "Device Manager" in the lower panel (or kicker). I can only guess that somehow you have right-clicked and added an applet: either "System Menu" or "Storage Media"?
In any case, if we are talking about the same thing: then you only need to right-click to unlock the lower panel. Hover the mouse over the icon for this item, and you ought to see a small arrow, either directly above, or sometimes to one side, of that icon. Click (or right-click) on that, and you will see a menu with a few otions. (Don't know why, but some icons need right-click, others reveal this menu with left-click.) Among the options are to move the icon (which usually screws up everything else in my lower panel, and also just to remove.)
Hi Bill,
Thank you but that's not it. It is not listed among the apps or applications I can remove from the panel. It appears there on its own at boot.
Or now I look more closely I believe it's not appearing directly in the panel but rather in the system tray which is in the panel.
So my question might be how do I stop this device manager from autostarting and appearing in the system tray in 14.1.0 which was not doing this in 14.0.13? More specifically: in 14.1.0 I have an instance of tdehwdevicetray running which is not there in 14.0.13.
