kde4 Devs,

I did something to my panel that caused everything that is supposed to
be

on the right side (clock, battery, logout/shutdown, systray) to now be
in the middle of my panel. See:

I have checked and there is nothing on the right side of these items.
One

the left side, I have:
Looks like a panel spacer at the right edge of the panel that used to be
in the middle though.

menu|quicklaunch|pager|taskbar|spacer|systray...

My question is which config file controls this?? I have other accounts

that I can look at to try and fix my panel, but I'm not sure what
config file controls it?

$HOME/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc

I am fairly certain that an errant mouse click & drag pulled something
out

of my panel that keeps everything aligned, but what to do to get it
back to normal??

In edit/toolbox mode, hover the empty space and see if it gets a drag
handle, or if right click shows 'Panel Spacer' options.

If there's no spacer there I guess only forensic analysis of the config
file, the panel containment and the geometry of the applets contained
within it will tell you why everything is crammed left.

Hello:

I've just installed the "very improved" KDE factory (4.3.95) version on
openSUSE 11.2. At first login adjusting the panel the same happened to me
as above. The right side of the panel is empty, everything is pushed to
left. This was one of the showstoppers of KDE that panel applets liked to
wander. It seems that this issue still hasn't been fixed. After a year
that KDE was made default.

I also had the same problem. What I did was go to Panel Settings and manually place
them where I wanted them. Actually, I a) had to move every thing IIRC .. e.g. if the
menu icon is ok, move it away and then back, b) I think I had to do this more than
once (2 or 3 times) and then it stopped being kludgy. I also had to remove and then
re-add somethings. Now it's working ok now without any problems. YMMV

HTH, Curtis.
