Re: [vox-tech] KDE on Debian

2013-05-15 Thread Bill Kendrick

Is this KDE 4?

If so, try right-clicking the panel.  (If you see Unlock widgets,
click that.  Then right-click the panel again.)

Select Add Widget.  Scroll until you find Task Manager
(or type task into the search field and it'll filter out everything
but the widgets with task in their name).

Click Task Manager and drag it into the panel, or just double-click it.

If you need to reposition it, click the 'cashew' icon (as people call it)
on the panel (probably at the far right).  Hover over the task manager
widget.  Click and drag to move.  (You'll probably see a 4-directional
plus-shaped arrow.)

You'll also see [wrench] Task Manager [x], which allows you to change
the task manager's settings, or remove it.  (You can also do these actions
by simply right-clicking in an empty part of the task manager, though
sometimes that can be difficult... hence my mentioning the cashew trick.)

Good luck!

Does anyone know how to get my open applications back on the taskbar?
It would also be goog to stop the annoying iconifying of the whole
interface.
I have tried for documentation at KDE.org but I think the site is broken.
