said Leskala via tde-users: | $ dcop kicker kicker restart | | This should restart the panel only - maybe this suffices to fix that | error. Additionally, you could try to explicitly specify the maximum | width of the taskbar buttons: | | $ kwriteconfig --file $TDEHOME/share/config/ktaskbarrc \ | --group General --key MaximumButtonWidth 200 | $ dcop kicker kicker restart | | (value of 200 is the default for the kicker taskbar, so it shouldn't | change anything visually from the default config) Thanks. I suspect that the first thing you mention would be of use on the occasions kicker seems to die entirely, when I start kcontrol, change something in panels, change it back, hit "apply" and all is well. The random decision by the taskbar to rid itself of text is something different. It happens rarely, but when it does it's a problem that restarting kicker won't fix. It has happened two or three times now, over several years. It's unlikely to have anything to do with button width, because what was now missing had been there before, so it's not a configuration issue in and of itself. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
