Volune in KDE and other minor issues

[Dotan Cohen]

I've finally got KDE set up how it like it... almost. The current
3.5.3 is different enough from previous versions that I am left with
just a few small issues:

1) How can I add the volume control to the panel? I can't find it for
the life of me!

2) The buttons in Konqi that I need are all in different toolbars- so
I have 4 toolsbares open and each one is almost empty. I'm certain
that I had these buttons active in previous versions without having so
many toolbars open and eating up all my screen realestate. Is there no
way to either move buttons from one toolbar to another, or to place
the toolbars next to each other (as opposed to above and below)?

3) After editing the K menu, so items reappear! What would cause that,
and how can I prevent it?

4) I've not ever installed a new theme. I just downloaded a theme from
kde-look and I'd like to install it- how? Its a tar. I can't find any
documentation on the subject.

5) I find that some apps that were once available from apt may no
longer be available? Opera, Limewire, Amaya, apache, dosbox were not
once available? I've these repos:

Thanks, all. I'm enjoying Dapper Drake, but sometimes I feel that the
changes were a step backwards and not forwards.
