I have deleted the bottomstatusbar with the startbutton, the time/date-button, etc. in OpenSuse 11.1 (KDE4 desktop).
I tried to get it back, but without success.
Who know the solution of my problem?

there must be an easier way but what I do is:-

do you also have kde 3.5 or gnome installed?

if so then log on to one of these instead (of kde4) and open your home file directory. change the settings to show hidden files and look in the .kde4 folder for the plasma files. If you then delete these (or change the names by adding 'old') and re-log into kde 4 your lost menu bar should be recreated.

I did this same thing by accident. What worked for me was

Code:

kquitapp plasma; rm $KDEHOME/share/config/plasma-appletsrc; plasma

P.S. To give proper credit, I should say that I found the above here

My problem is solved by starting kicker.
Thank you for the offered help.

I tried your solution but unfortunately it did not work. Somebody else suggested to start kicker and yes my problem was solved.
