Is there a way to get a 'new terminal' button on the panel?


Hi, wondering if there is a way to get a button for new terminal/new window etc.
on the panel, it would be a lot easier to get a command line that to move windows around till there is a clear shot of the backround!

Mate, just put your DE/WM of choice in
the sidebar with your distro, that'll make
helping MUCH easier.


Cheers,
Tink

If you want a quick and easy look behind the presently open window, just double click on the blue bar area at the top. That makes it roll up like a window shade. To get that window back, double click on the blue bar area again or double click on the window item in the task bar.

As far as adding a terminal button, In Redhat 9 KDE, you just right click on the panel area and select Add / Application Button / System Tools / Terminal.
