Mine was sort of dark so I pulled out my magnifying glass. I noticed when I put the fuzzy mouse pointer on it, it turned a yellow like color. I right clicked and up popped a menu. So cool. We must run gkrellm the same way. Mine covered it up to. It's been hiding under there all this time. lol Dale :-) :-)

A peanut is not a nut, a cashew is. I couldn't find my cashew either, at first, and was even considering deleting ~/.kde4 and starting again. Then gkrellm failed to start one time and there the cashew was - under gkrellm. All I had to do was move it to where I could see it. Note to Erik: it's not the one on the end of the panel across the bottom of the screen; it's another one. That confused me for ages. What's worse than no cashew? Two cashews! And now I've got two more in the top-left screen corner )-: -- Rgds Peter

LOL I got to look for this nut. Of course, Erik corrected me about what a cashew is, so maybe I'm not a nut after all. ;-) Apparently I am a herbaceous plant. Is that better? My biggest problem with KDE 4 is this, I run Dolphin has root and it can't open text files, last time it wouldn't even open directories. It gave a error about Klauncher. I'm sure it will be fixed and this is just one issue but I'm waiting until it is a little less buggy. If it can't do what I need it to do then why use it? I think the first of next year, KDE 4 will be up to snuff and ready to roll. They just need some time to work this stuff out. Oh, probably a lot caffeine too. Or do they drink those expresso thingys now? Dale :-) :-)

But cashew is a big tree, while peanut is an annual herbaceous plant. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut > Why is there a nut in KDE4? It seems to be at the end of the panel and clicking it brings up a panel configuration menu. The first time I had a red X next to it, but it seems to be gone now. > I'm not using KDE 4 yet. ;-) > I had to migrate to it when emerge complained about packages masked for removal. Spent the last few days reporting regressions at bugs.kde.org. And now I am not talking about peanuts.

The solution is obvious once you see it - click the cashew. p.s. you do know that sometime in the next 30 days you'll need to load a new overlay to keep kde-3.5?

[gentoo-user] KDE-4.3.73 I've disabled right mouse buttons
KDE-4.3.73 from kde-testing. I was playing around with the desktop and found new shiny extra stuff on the right-click context menu. Including configs for mouse buttons presses. Now I have no right click on the desktop (everywhere else works) and middle click is disabled everywhere. Being an old-time X lad, this grieves me greatly. Systemsettings has nothing I can see about this - 1000s of hotkeys for keyboard, nothing for mouse clicks. Any ideas on how to revert this desktop change? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
