           Summary: configuring panel made it crash and now it won't
                    relaunch
           Product: kicker
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: jfirebaugh@kde.org
        ReportedBy: orque@uvic.ca


Version:           v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1.9.8v1. \

                (using KDE 2.2-1)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.7-10

This bug looks similar to bug # 12054 "kicker freezes (infinite loop) when an applet is moved and panel \
is longer than screen", but not the same (there was no mention of kicker never showing up again).

Here is the scenario: moved kicker to the left side of the screen and made icons medium (previously they \
were small). Started futzing around with the placement of things. After changing the clock to analog, \
moved it to the bottom. However, it went too far so I went to move it up. It wouldn't move and I could no \
longer use the scroll arrows. Moving something on top of the panel and moving it away caused a redraw of \
white. After logging out and logging back in, the kde launch panel takes a very long time on the "loading \
panel" bit, then kicker never comes up. Unfortunately there's no way I can reproduce the bug since kicker \
has seemingly disappeared. I have tried going to the preferences and changing things such as autohide to \
get it to show up. No luck.

It doesn't make for the best experience within my first 1/2 hour of using kde! :(
