Any ideas of how I can get the pesky thing to disapear (I've tried disabling it from itself, through KDE control centre and even hunted through the config files to see if I could find anything). Sir Robin Doesn't it turn off with Configuration KDE LookNFell Desktop ? There's a setting on the first tab that on my box turns it on and off. No - it goes off for a second, then comes back on. It's more irritating than that bloddy Microsoft paperclip! Funny, when I tried it it went off and stayed off.

Re: [newbie] Can't get rid of menu bar
Robin I'm sending a copy to you directly because my earlier post to newbie bounced. Have you tried simply right-clicking on the desktop, then left-clicking on disable Desktop Menu on the pop-up menu that appears? (only a single click in each case) I tried it and it works, but if you double click on Disable... it gives the very symptom you describe. The menu disappears, then comes back in seconds.
