Recently install openSuSE 10.2 for x86_64. On the kicker panel there is no icon for the susemenu. When I switch to kmenu style I have the green chamelion icon. But no matter what when I use the susemenu no icon is displayed. Using a Nvidia 7600 gs video card with the proprietary nvidia drivers from the repos. Wanted to post the screenies that illustrate this problem but I can't insert an image
If you refer to the SuSE Help Center icon, right click on an empty part of the panel, highlight "add to panel", then "application", and left click on "SuSe Help Center" to add it to the panel.
sorry but how does this help me? Don't care about the help center icon. Also it is not where you have directed me in the first place. I am talking about the equivalent of the "start" icon in windows, not a help icon.
Well, along the same lines, right click on the panel and select 'add applet' to panel. KMenu is what you want and it can be added this way
You will also find that you'll get more help around here if you don't rip people for trying to help, even if it wasn't exactly what you were looking for.
wasn't trying to rip the guy. Maybe I haven't been clear enough. The susemenu works but there is no icon there just a blank spot. If I switch to the kde classic style and use kmenu there is an icon.
Zibrah3ed,
If you are running multihead/multiscreen without Xinerama, then you may have encountered the same bug I found. Check out my screenshots of Bug 232446 at Novell's site. If you are seeing the same behavior then post a comment to my bug report indicating that you are having the same problem. That way the developers will know that it's not an isolated incident.
For those of you wondering why anyone would run multiscreen without Xinerama, it's because some full-screen applications (many games) don't restrict themselves to a single monitor and end up spread across both. With separate desktops this doesn't happen but each app is restricted to one screen or the other. You can still drag-n-drop text between them.
