<question>
<para>How do I add applications to the &kde; panel (&kicker;)?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>There are several ways to add an application to the panel, of which the easiest is to right-click on the panel, and from the context menu which appears, select <menuchoice><guimenu>Panel Menu</guimenu><guisubmenu>Add</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Application Button</guisubmenu></menuchoice> and then the application for which you want to add a link.</para>
<para>For more ways of adding buttons to the panel, refer to the &kicker; Handbook.</para>

<question>
<para>Is it possible to change the <guibutton>K</guibutton> button of
the panel to another picture?</para>
</question>/
<answer>
<para>Look for
<filename>$<envar>HOME</envar>/.trinity/share/apps/kicker/pics/go.png</filename> and
<filename>$<envar>HOME</envar>/.trinity/share/apps/kicker/pics/mini/go.png</filename>
and replace them. Do not forget to flatten the replacements to one
layer, or else you will not see anything. Create the folders if
they do not already exist. Then restart &kicker;.</para>

<question><para>My desktop panel has disappeared. How can I get it back?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The panel disappearing is usually due to it crashing. This is most often caused by loading an applet that has a fatal bug or due to a bad installation of &kde; and/or the panel.</para>
<para>The easiest way to get the panel back is to launch the <guilabel>Run Command</guilabel> window by pressing <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap> </keycombo> and entering <userinput><command>kicker</command></userinput> and then pressing the <guibutton>OK</guibutton> button.</para>
<para>If the panel continues to disappear, you may wish to either remove or edit by hand your <filename>$<envar>TDEHOME</envar>/share/config/kickerrc</filename> file, where <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEHOME</envar></filename> is usually <filename class="directory">~/.trinity</filename>. If you choose to edit it by hand, start by removing the applet entry groups.</para>
