lubuntu 8.1 and KDE 4.1

[Stephen Constantinou]

Dear All

I now have the above (dual booting with XP) and I am dissatisfied with 
KDE.  I have read a few other sources that describes the KDE task 
bar/system tray as problematic.

I have been fiddling and tried unsuccessfully two simple things
1) make an application short cut in the task bar/left hand side.  I can 
make a widget.
2) move the task bar to vertical right side of screen

If I am not able to do these two things then KDE 4.1 is no improvement 
on 3.5.  I would then need to know how to use an earlier KDE and make 
that the default.

Any help and advice welcome
