After lots of messing around i have managed to get my application icons on the task bar (silly me i was just dragging them to the task bar instead of the very small space allocated for them.
I've even managed to get the clock to the right hand side.(why not just let us right click and move)
I still have a couple of problems though.
When i try to change the default icon pic with my own custom ones i get the message
Could not save properties. You do not have sufficient access to write to /media/.directory.
Is there anyway to do this.
I have also tried to add widgets to the add widgets dialog via the download button, Specifically the quick launch file browser and the amarok widget but they don't show up once installed(even tried a reboot after install). Any ideas anyone.
I have now got 2 desktops but still cannot add more and desktop effects will not switch off (the are not selected in the settings window(as ordinary user or as root)
Final one for now, In the run dialog is there any way to get back the "run with a different priority-user-run in terminal. I sometimes use the run dialog to start apps as root or if an app wont start to run in a treminal to find out why.
