Basically I want to make KDE 4 work like 3.5 or XFCE. I want a menu on the left (the classic option) and I want the ability to add icons (not plasmoids ) to the bottom bar. Most of these are programs I download and compile. At the moment I use Slack 13.0, 13.1 is still a bit flaky on my system. Here are some of my favorite programs: Scribus Gimp Gvim Firefox Inkscape Even if there is an older version available via Slackbuild etc. I routinely download, compile and install the newest version from a tarball. Basically I want to do productive work, not just play with the GUI. If/when I get Slack 13.1 to behave decently I will be adding another edition of Scribus so I will have two versions, 1.4.0 and 1.5.0. I want both of them on that bottom bar. Toying with going back to FVWM of years ago. But back to the issue: How do I put widgets for my favorites on the bottom bar? Most of them are not even in the KDE Menu system and don't have plasmoids AFAIK. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
