kde desktop real estate

[shawn wilson]

i've been trying to figure out for the past three days how to get this bar
at the top of my desktop to go away. today i realize that it isn't a bar i'm
looking at but that when i maximize an application, it doesn't maximize all
the way to the top of the screen. in fact, i can manually resize
applications to span over this "bar" however they won't maximize there.
where is the setting to fix this behavior? and why isn't this better
documented? (this is seriously a last resort)



on a slightly different note, (i haven't spent as much time searching, but)
how to i get the panel that shows opened programs to only show the programs
opened on the current desktop? ie, i have six desktops and tons of programs
open which makes seeing what's open on a particular desktop by using this
panel near useless (i thought it was in 'behavior' back in the 2.x and 3.x
days).

thanks
