Thanks for the response Tom...I tried all the KPPP tab settings but when I set it to "dock to panel on connect" instead of docking it disappears? a while back when discussing this problem with you I began to realize that it is not a case of a missing application. as I have discovered that anything that is scheduled to dock..vanishes instead? Kmoon , tea timer etc. so whatever enables the docking is defective...maybe? I do have the clock on the panel and Kmixer...but I don't understand the difference in the way they are put there..which makes it hard to troubleshoot. when I was running MDK 7.2 it did work as you say and I had the modem lights on the panel....but with MDK 8.0 it is not working... > > type 'xdpyinfo' and under "number of extensions:" you'll see all > the functions your video card is capable of. ie, you may or may not > see RENDER.

I threw that in because it was the only error message that I could find....and thought it might be implicated as the culprit? I'm sure you are correct...I was just wishing. <grin>. I was planning to get another KPPP but now that I know that Kmoon and other docking are affected ,I doubt that that would be logical...I don't know where to investigate at this time?
