Issues configuring multiple Kicker panels in 3.5.5
I have a bit of a problem and am wondering if this should be addressed with Kubuntu or with KDE. In Kubuntu 6.10 when I add other panels to the desktop I am unable to directly configure any of them except for the original. I've tried a couple of other distro's using KDE 3.5.5 and had the same problem. With other versions of KDE when you right click and select "configure panel" the option window that pops up has a drop down menu that allows you to select which panel you want to apply changes to/configure. That's not available in Kubuntu desktop for Edgy or in 3.5.5 as far as I can tell. I like having one or more panels for specific purposes but with no way to configure them I'm at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions? At this point, unless I can figure out what's going on, all I can thing of is to go back to a different version of KDE and see if the problem will eventually get resolved or switch to a different window manager desktop like XFCE or GNOME that does allow you that option...
Any suggestions?
RE: Issues configuring multiple Kicker panels in 3.5.5
Warchilde, I'm assuming that you've gotten this fixed, but a note for anyone else who, like me, runs into this issue after installing Edgy - simply update your system and you'll get the fix. Then when you click "Configure Panel" you'll be brought to a preferences dialog for that specific panel, not the main panel. (I think kicker is part of kdebase, so that's probably all you really need, but I didn't pay attention to everything that got installed.)
also, when you configure the panels, there is a drop-down with 'settings for' where you can choose for which panel the settings are.
btw switching to gnome or XFCE won't help much, as they don't have 1/5 of the settings KDE has

RE: Issues configuring multiple Kicker panels in 3.5.5
I have this exact same issue, but I'm running 3.5.6 on FC6.
No matter what panels I add, whenever I attempt to configure them I get the configure panel for the primary kicker panel. Very frustrating. Anyone have any idea?
This seems to be a bug in KDE 3.5.5 and 3.5.6. Basically, when you add or remove a panel, the configuration dialog isn't updated. To get around this, you need to restart Kicker. Press Alt+F2 and enter the following command:

dcop kicker kicker restart

Hope that helps.
OS: Kubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) | KDE 3.5.3
Computer Specs: AMD Sempron 2200 1.5Ghz | VIA KM266 Pro 8235 chipset | nVidia GeForce MX 4000 128MB DDR-RAM 32-bit AGP 8x
yes! that did it. just had to add all the bars i wanted, restart kicker and, BOOM, theres a nice little drop down for configuration.
thank you very much
