SUSE 11.0 beta 2 X64 KDE 4 Can't Auto hide Toolbar / bottom panel

1kyle · 05-12-2008, 05:31 AM

On the above system I can't AUTO HIDE (or even hide at all) the bottom toolbar / panel.

This is a really irritating bug as I am so used to having the panel auto hide so I can get to things like the NEXT / OK buttons on apps without having to move / re-size the screen.

Any fixes

I can even live temporarily without sound etc --these problems usuually get fixed sooner or later but this toolbar problem (small though it might seem) is a real SHOW STOPPER for me

anybody got a workaround yet (other than going back to 10.3).

Cheers

you could try the kde4 unstable branch in factory (I'm assuming factory=11.0 at this point in time) http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...nSUSE_Factory/. But taskbar is a Plasma and that's still a work in progress. You could consider removing the Kde4 taskbar and using the taskbar from kde3 (which might auto hide), there's a post somewhere on how to do this (though in my 10.3 it's install'ed by default, I have 2 taskbars - both 3 and 4).
