Hmmm; I've lost my little icons on the bottom panel...

Hi there, I happen to have a very silly problem here: I'm on OpenSuse11 and the latest KDE; I was tweaking around the other day and lost the... I don't know the exact word in english... little icons in the bottom panel that tell you what programs are opened and enable you to switch from one to another easily. Know, when I want to go from a program to another, the window just disappears and I have to use Ctrl-Tab to switch between applications. Whatever I do, I can't get the damn thing back, which is very frustrating... I'tried to reset the KDE settings, but it didn't solve my problem. Anyone has an idea?! Thanks a lot!!

Sounds like the task manager's been removed.
Try right-clicking on the panel and selecting "add widget" (kde4) or "add applet" (I think, for kde3) and choosing task manager (might be a slightly different name in kde3)
