Nilesh,
Have you tried restarting plasma itself?
Bring up the run dialog (Alt+F2) or use konsole or xterm and enter the following
3 commands to restart it:
kbuildsycoca4
kquitapp plasma-desktop
kstart plasma-desktop
(You can just copy & paste it into console).
If you find yourself needing to restart plasma often, the you can put those
commands in a small script which can be very handy. Just create a file with the
following 4 lines:
#!/bin/bash
kbuildsycoca4
kquitapp plasma-desktop >/dev/null 2>&1
kstart plasma-desktop & >/dev/null 2>&1
Save it and make it executable 'chmod 0755 filename' and then put it somewhere
in your path (or softlink it somewere in your path). I call this script
'rsplasma' on my box and I just put it in /usr/local/bin.
If resetting plasma doesn't work, you can try removing the launcher you
installed on the right and then re-add the launcher in the default left
position. (it shouldn't make any difference where the launcher is in the panel,
but a lot of things like this just go wrong in kde4....)
Good luck.
