At least synaptic has. exc. from "man apt-get": purge purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too). --purge Use purge instead of remove for anything that would be removed.

After restarting the computer, I hoped to get back the panel and system tray, because I had done so when I experienced a similar problem with Kubuntu 8.10. But now, no system tray and panel do come back after restarting the system. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Click with the right button on the desktop and select "Add Widgets" (or whatever it is called in your language). Then look for a widget called "Panel" and drag and drop it to your desktop, leaving it where you want it to be. Try it and report your results. Cheers </pre> </blockquote> I have found you can delete the config file in your home folder to correct! it does mean you have to add your favourites etc again. the command is... rm -R ~/.kde/share/config This has saved my bacon a couple of times when the panel has gone pear shaped.
