Anyone know which .kde4 config file controls the size of the kde bar at

i believe.this value is stored in
~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc

to edit it directly you'll have to first stop the plasma-desktop by
typing "kquitapp plasma-desktop" in a terminal. then you can open the
above file for editing. in the same terminal, type "kwrite
~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc", and figure out which of
the "containments" is your bottom menu bar. (good luck; hint: the one
that contains system tray & pager, normally). in that containment's
configuration, you find values for max- and min-size.

My computer locked up coming out of suspend mode,
and ever since the kde bar (plasma?) is only 3/4's of the screen
width.

There's also two half-moon widgets in the upper right corner. I've
seen as many as four widgets there ...

if you didn't put too much effort into configuring your desktop, it may be
a good idea to start with a fresh (default) configuration.

first stop plasma-desktop by typing "kquitapp plasma-desktop" in a
terminal. then back up your plasma config. somewhere:

mkdir ~/<your-backup-location>
cp ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma* ~/<your-backup-location>

delete the present config.: rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*

now restart plasma-desktop with "plasma-desktop & disown"
