Hi, *

I remember, back in Slack 11, having had a pager on my KDE taskbar (I mean
the bar that usually resides at the bottom). Now its seems to be gone, and
I can't find a way to get it back. I can, of course, install a separate
pager, but I would prefer to have it on (and inside) the taskbar

I have noticed that I needed to recreate a lot of KDE-type profiles
because of the movement of kde from /usr/kde to /usr.

Try this. Move your current .kde directory and start kde and allow it to
create a new home dir. The pager should be there by default. Then, move
the RC files etc. that you need for your apps.

When I switched from Slackware 8 to Slackware 9.1 I found out too late
that users logging in to both Slackware 8 and Slackware 9.1 machines on
the network got their .kde directories corrupted as the different KDE
versions did incompatible things with ~/.kde.

Now, when adding Slackware 12 machines to the network I have modified the
kde settings so that Slackware 12 machines store its settings in
~/.kde_slack12. This has the drawback that every user will have to once
again select language, look-and-feel, and level of eye-candy when they
start KDE for the first time on Slackware 12, but at least I know that any
KDE incompabilities will not mess up the users settings.

The machines were I did this modification is at work, but if I remember
right I could accomplish this by modifying the kdehome variable in
/usr/bin/startkde.

There are 2 ways to start pager. If you start it from the KDE menu
(utilities -> desktop -> pager) then the pager will float detatched on
the desktop as you describe. If you right click on the panel and select
"add applet", you can add pager to the panel as you wish to.

Just in case this is what you are doing.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!
