... and another problem..-;)
I'm using Suse 11.3. Something I've done by mistake that my all icon
at the bottom tool bar are not as they were originally ( some on the
left - some on the right with the clock) but they're squised all
in the right corner. I cannot return to default setting.
There is an option to insert the space but the cursor doesn't want
to go there wher the space should be - to separate the two sets of icons
on the lef and to the right.
Any advice / hint for returning to default setting will be greatly
appreciated. THANKS !

Odd someone running GNU/Linux doesn't know
how to use a file manager to copy a file,
or to use a CLI to cp file(s) :)

Would be nice if you specified which environment
you're using, such as KDE or GNOME.

I'm gonna assume you're using KDE ... click the
Panel Toolbox icon - that will allow you to move
the icons around on the Panel.

Which should be in its own thread, not tagged on to an unrelated one.
And just because you're the OP, doesn't make it related.

Oh good. Is that somehow related to openSUSE 11.3?

Which desktop[0]?

Well, first of all, answer the question as to which desktop you're
using. That way people can give you the correct answer.

Having said that, I'll hazard a guess that you're using KDE4 and, if
that is the case, you can get the default layout for the bottom panel
by deleting the file:

~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc

However, you'll need to log out of your desktop, log in on a text
console and delete the file there, before logging off from the console
and the logging back into the GUI desktop.


[0] Deja-vu anyone?

That might be asking a bit much :)
