messed up my kicker menubar

[O. Sinclair]

Right,
somehow I completely messed up my kicker menubar, the one where active 
windows are supposed to be showing... this happened while trying 
something related to Google Desktop. I went to System Settings - Window 
Behaviour - tab Advanced. Ticked the box "Hide utility windows for 
inactive applications".

Bang - got a crash notice I did not think much about until I left the 
place in question and found the menu bar showing no apps windows/icons.

No matter what I try and change since then it has absolutely no effect 
whatsoever. Have played around with "dcop kicker kicker restart", no 
change whatsoever. If I add an extra External Taskbar it nicely shows 
the apps in that one... same with a KasBar. But I prefer the "running 
apps" back where I am used to....

Any help appreciated,

Sinclair
