I logged out of kde, but my internet connection didn't quit, because
when I got to the console, my friend and I did some things there; and
then I came back into kde... the connection was still going, but the
little blinking icon was gone from the tray.... all I'd like to be able
to do is get it back into the tray at that point, without having to shut
the connection and start another one.

What happens to kde when I do the ctrl+alt+F2??
I really appreciate all the nice folks on this list who go out of their
way to help others and explain things in such a clear way!
thanks!
