Thanks! Finally got it figured out. I had too many apps open on too many desktops and I didn't 
have a 'blank space'. I closed all but one app and then was able to find a blank space to right 
click on.
The problem was further compounded in that  whenever I open a new app it starts on desktop number 
1 -- including 'Panel Settings'. Which meant that as i was usually on a 'free' desktop (number 1 
is where Thunderbird rezides) I could never see the Panel Settings. You how easy it is to crash 
Plasma? I managed it quite a lot today...

Anyway, thanks again for the solution.

Blessings,
