I really missed the quicklaunch applet and was glad to discover it had been ported when I opened the widget list recently. It seemed to work fine, although lacking some features but, I think I've isolated it as the cause of frequent Plasma crashes, which ultimately led to my not being able to open plasma at all. After deleting all the plasma config files in .kde/share/config plasma came back in its default config, but now, whenever I try to add the quicklaunch applet to the new panel, plasma immediately crashes then reopens with much of my other configuration lost, and quicklaunch not added. Anyone else getting this? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD
