messed up my kicker menubar
 

Right,
somehow I completely messed up my kicker menubar, the one where active
windows are supposed to be showing... this happened while trying
something related to Google Desktop. I went to System Settings - Window
Behaviour - tab Advanced. Ticked the box "Hide utility windows for
inactive applications".

Bang - got a crash notice I did not think much about until I left the
place in question and found the menu bar showing no apps windows/icons.

No matter what I try and change since then it has absolutely no effect
whatsoever. Have played around with "dcop kicker kicker restart", no
change whatsoever. If I add an extra External Taskbar it nicely shows
the apps in that one... same with a KasBar. But I prefer the "running
apps" back where I am used to....

Any help appreciated,

Sinclair

Could it be that the taskbar applet got removed from the panel?

You are the man! Such a seemingly simple thing and I tried like tens of
other setting changes and so on! It never even occured to me....

I had a similar problem.
I renamed the "Kickerrc" file to "Kickerrc.old" and logged out or
rebooted (can't remember which)
and kde creates a new file that works.
File is located below
/home/##your home directoryname#/.kde/share/config/Kickerrc

In my case it was the Taskbar Applet that was removed by my messing
around. HOW/WHY is a different story but I had to do was put it back.
