Public bug reported:
As reported on the forums
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1678974#post1678974 after
adding a second kicker panel it is not possible to configure it. Right-
clicking on the second panel and choosing "Configure panel..." brings up
the configuration options for the first panel.
However, if you open ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc (e.g. in Kate) and
then re-save this file a new drop-down list appears in the configuration
window. It is now possible to select which panel to configure.
I have successfully reproduced this on a second desktop on the same
computer. No access to second kubuntu. Steps are:
1. Right-click panel, select Add new panel -> Panel
2. Right-click on new panel, adjust settings (e.g. height) - original panel
affected, new panel not changed
3. Close configuration. Use Kate to open ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc and save
(no changes)
4. Right-click on panel and configure - new drop down now showing choice of
panels
