applets don't function on panels in KDE


Hey:

In KDE, when I try to create an applet on a panel (say, the taskbar), some work (like color picker, taskbar, system tray, Klipper, etc) and some (like Kweather, eyes, fifteen pieces) do not. The applet modifier bar appears (the dotted strip with the arrow) but no applet. Sorry if I'm not detailed enough, I have no more info (that comes to mind :P)

Thanks,

Do these applet problems occur for both root and user or just one of them?

I tried Kweather, eyes, and fifteen pieces on my system and they all work OK. I am using SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.1.0. That and the fact that the problem appears in both root and user KDE on your system makes me think that there is probably a bug in either your version of KDE or your version of Red Hat. If this is a bug it is more likely a KDE problem rather than Red Hat's.

I would try upgrading KDE to the latest version, KDE 3.1.3. This is a lot of work for fixing a minor bug but KDE 3.1.3 also has much better artwork than KDE 3.0.3, which I think is the version that you are using..
