Hi all,

after the last update and restart, my taskbar disappeared. Does anybody have an idea how to bring it back? I know I can add a new taskbar via context menu from desktop, but when I add a new taskbar, it appears at the top of the desktop. However, my "good old" taskbar was at the bottom and I had a lot of settings regarding it (widgets, etc.).

fli.

PS: I am running KDE 4.7.4 from repo. http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_11.4/

Unusual. Please try the following. It will require the "Desktop Shell Scripting Console" which allows Plasma to be scripted to alter it's configuration programatically at runtime.

Run "qdbus org.kde.plasma-desktop /App showInteractiveConsole" to get the scripting console to show.
Then execute these scripts:

Code: Select all

for( var id in panelIds ) {
  var panel = panelById( panelIds[id] )
  print( panel.formFactor )
  print( panel.screen )
  print( panel.desktop )
  print( panel.location )
}

If you get something that doesn't look like this, and you only have 1 screen and 1 panel, then run the Javascript below to fix the issue.

Code: Select all

horizontal
0
-1
bottom

Code: Select all

for( var id in panelIds ) {
  var panel = panelById( panelIds[id] )
  panel.formFactor = "horizontal"
  panel.screen = 0
  panel.desktop = -1
  panel.location = "bottom"
}

That should repair it.
