In Rosa Desktop 2012 (2012.1) we are missing Kickoff and classic application launcher. I've searched for a Kickoff to download and haven't found one yet. My question is where can I find downloads for Kickoff and classic application launcher for KDE 4.9.x?

Both the Kickoff and Classic application launchers are C++ applets, which are shipped in KDE Workspace. They should be present on your system. Please run "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" and logout and back in again and see if they become available after that.

If not, you may need to reinstall some packages or contact your distribution (as they may have forgotten to include them, and therefore only they can help you there).
