Public bug reported: As reported on the forums http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1678974#post1678974 after adding a second kicker panel it is not possible to configure it. Right- clicking on the second panel and choosing "Configure panel..." brings up the configuration options for the first panel.
However, if you open ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc (e.g. in Kate) and then re-save this file a new drop-down list appears in the configuration window. It is now possible to select which panel to configure. I have successfully reproduced this on a second desktop on the same computer. No access to second kubuntu. Steps are: 1. Right-click panel, select Add new panel -> Panel 2. Right-click on new panel, adjust settings (e.g. height) - original panel affected, new panel not changed 3. Close configuration. Use Kate to open ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc and save (no changes) 4. Right-click on panel and configure - new drop down now showing choice of panels ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: - As reported <a - href="http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1678974#post1678974">on - the forums</a>, after adding a second kicker panel it is not possible to - configure it by right-clicking on it.
