I've made the switch from Gnome to KDE 3.4 on my main desktop and have been customising various aspects of it to suit my needs but have hit a bit of a problem or two (of my own making I'm sure!).
I've added various applets to my panels and moved them into positions I find logical and simple to reach, etc. After positioning some of these applets, I tried to make it look a little more perdy by disabling some of the 'handles' or 'grip bars' (not sure what the proper terminology is). Now, after doing this I don't seem to be able to move the relevant applets, as there is no 'handle' to right-click in order to select 'move' and I can't find a way of re-enabling the 'handles'. I presumed I would just be able to right-click the relevant applets and select 'enable handle' or similar but alas, there is no such option.
My second problem is that I have a few icons in my system tray that I use often and a few I use not so often but still want accessible. I activated the system tray option to hide some of these icons from displaying all the time, making them available again when I click on the arrow icon to the side of the system tray. This works fine, but after some additions I want to be able to hide one or two more icons and show some others, but this option seems to have totally dissapeared, presumably because it was activated from right-clicking the system tray's 'handle' - which, as above, is now hidden and I can't find a way to re-enable.
So... any hints on how I can re-enable these applet handles? Only temporarily ideally, so I can move them / reconfigure them. I'm sure it's blindingly obvious but I just don't seem to be able to find out how (with experimentation and google).
