In KDE 3 I get wmCalClock twice when I start it, like I mentioned in my previous posting. How is that better than the situation in KDE 2? -Andy

Yeah, but I hate cruft on my screen. Please "Dock Application Bar", go away. Any idea why this feature isn't in kpanel? *t Tomas Pospisek SourcePole - Linux & Open Source Solutions http://sourcepole.ch Elestastrasse 18, 7310 Bad Ragaz, Switzerland Tel: +41 (81) 330 77 11

The dock app can now make it disappear from the taskbar. But it also adds an unnecessary frame around it that kstart cannot get rid of because it lacks such an option (which should also address all subwindows like playlist and equalizer). *sigh* KDE really is far from perfect...

With that (in KDE2.2.2) I have the problem that the dock application bar is not resizable. It is bigger than my wmapplets and my main KDE bar and i could not find a way to set it to size, lets say middle or small. I couldn't integrate it into the main KDE bar or the external bar either, so I would have to have three bars on my desktop (I've chosen the external window bar). Not what I would expect to be a good way of handling this. BTW: does anyone know, why xmms cannot be _NOT_ displayed in the window bar, even with kstart? I normally use the xmms dock application plugin to manage it and this conflicts with what KDE2.2.2 does.

One just needed the "Dock Application Bar" extension to be active, and starting any WindowMaker applet would automatically dock it without creating an extra entry in the taskbar. The KDE3 way is far more complicated and doesn't work cleanly. For e.g., doing $ kstart --skiptaskbar wmCalClock gives me wmCalClock docked correctly, but it also produces an extra empty placeholder window in the dock app. bar. Am I missing an option here? -Andy

I use a program called kappdock that works nicely: http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~bigboss/kappdock/ i have my kpanel at the bottom left, talking up 70% of the width with kappdock on the right with some docapps (wmtuxtime, + others :) -pete -- (peter.royal|osi)@pobox.com - http://fotap.org/~osi jabber/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - icq/ 153025 - aim/ osifx - yahoo/ osi_fx your brain on life - http://fotap.org - incubating pgpOjmCy4ODVt.pgp Description: PGP signature
kpanel and wmapplets
kpanel just won't swallow any wmapplets on my KDE3 (from calc) I've tried to find s.th. about it on the net but from the sparse info I found it looks like kpanel _should_ swallow them. kdock in fact does so - only kpanel does not. Has anybody had any success with that or has a hint on how to achieve it? *t PS: I'm speaking about f.ex. wmtuxtime (from toshutils), wminet or wmnd.
