F10: Lots of issues... Evolution, Synaptic (touch pad), Plasma (folder view)...

2008-11-26 Thread Linuxguy123
I installed F10 this afternoon as an upgrade from F8 using preupgrade. That process went well. I ran the F10 KDE Live all morning. I didn't encounter any problems with it, but I have lots of issues with F10 now that I have it installed. Here is a list of the problems I am having: 1) Evolution

Is there a way to put an application icon in the tray ?

Is there a way to put an application icon (evolution, konqueror, dolphin, etc) in the tray (ie the bar at the bottom of the desktop, or should I say edge) in KDE 4.1.3 ? I know about putting application icons on the desktop itself. I've done that. Aside: is the tray now called a panel ?
