Right-click the kde menu icon, select menu editor, do an "add item" in a convenient position, save, close. Then go to the menu, right-click your app, and select "add to panel". Make sure to unlock the widgets before you try to add it to the panel. > (2) Moving App icon in panel where you want it - not possible > > (a) not obvious - basic UI flaw - middle click etc dont work. > > (b) if you click "panel settings" and then you can move icon > > However the icon springs back to the side afterwards so you cannot > place it where you want it as it doesn't stay where i put it. Add a panel spacer (there is an "add spacer" button for it once you open the panel settings), or many of them, and adjust their relative positions (drag&drop) so that the icon sits where you want it. Close panel settings. > (3) virtual desktops widget - the grouping of things by name - > terminal in my case - still doesn't work - this was reported way back in > kde 4.0 - still doesn't work.

The folks there are quite friendly and willing to help out. :) HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
