[nflug] KDE Panel AWOL

[David Mangani]

Hi John,

Thanks so much for the tips! I was able to do the right click thing
but I had the right click option disabled in the settings some where.
To make a long story short.... I was able to add back the right click
menu option, Once there I was able to "undo" the transparency
settings. In fact I turned it and all other menu glitz off. Still no
dice. My Kmenu ( bottom panel ) is gone. I guess I hosed it somehow.
At least now I can access it with a right click though. hmmmm... I
always seem to keep "fixing it" till it breaks. lol....

Dave
