Hi,

I'm trying to configure my KDE 3.5.10 with the menu on the top left of the screen, a pager on the bottom left and with the rest of bottom of the screen for the task-bar (more or less like default Gnome). This way, if I move my mouse to the bottom left I can use my mouse wheel to cycle through the desktops, and in the bottom right of the screen I can mouse-wheel through the windows in the desktop. For me this works very intuitively.
The problem I have is that I'm unable to fully left-align the Pager. No matter what I do there seems to be a 1px "dead-zone" on the left of it making the bottom left corner of the screen useless. This may seem too trivial to post a thread about it here, and at first I thought so too, but after working with it for a while now, I'm really beginning to miss having the ability to "blindly" find my Pager applet.

Does anybody know how I can solve this?

Try locking Kicker, which prevents you from removing Applets and hides their controllers. This "dead area" is more than likely the controller which allows you to remove, configure the Applet.

No, unfortunately it's not the controller. I've already got Kicker locked but this 1px remains.

You could try changing configuration options, or repeatively dragging the applet across. If these do not work, then your only option is KDE 4, since no more KDE 3.5.x releases are likely and the KDE 3 series is not going to be having any more feature releases ( no 3.6 )

Kicker is also unmaintained.

In fact it's not possible to fully left-align anything in the panel. There's always 1px between where the panel starts and the 1st applet. Strange, would this be a KDE or an openSUSE thing?

This is more than likely a KDE thing, probably done by the minimum spacer hint. There might be configuration for this.

I've upgraded to KDE 4.1, and that has solved this issue. Thanks for your help bcooksley.

No problem. Could you please mark this thread as solved? Thanks in advance,
