KDE taskbar strangeness

[Jon Piper]

Ronnie and other interested parties,

Your widgets are not locked.  How to cure: right click on an empty space 
on the panel (you call it a "taskbar", select unlock widgets, right 
click on the panel again and select panel settings, now you can do all 
sorts of cool stuff -- you will have to experiment (probably a lot) to 
get what you want.  You can change height of the panel, move widget, add 
widgets, stuff them to the right, left or center, add more panels to the 
bottom or sides of the screen, make the panel appear and disappear just 
by moving the cursor to the edge. When you are done -- click: lock 
widgets.  Unlocked widget seem to have a mind of their own.

You may have other configuration issues: check out the system settings 
and desktop effects.

Have another adventure:

Blessings,

Jon Piper
