I know this seems like a simple enough question. Right click on the panel and choose "Add". However I cannot do that if I am logged in as my regular user. If I am logged in as root I can modify the panel. I need to modify the panel for my regular user though not the root user. I am using SuSE 9.1 and running KDE 3.1.4. I am sure it is a security setting somewhere but I have searched and searched and cannot find it. Any suggestions would be great.
Maybe you have already done this, but have tou tried yo use the menu editor tool, rigth click on the K button and select menu editor, there you can either add or remove shortcuts to your programs
If you notice in my original post, I tried to do that. The "Add" option is only available if I am logged in as root. It is not available if I am logged in as a regular user. Logged in as a regular user I get the following options: "KDE Panel Handbook", "Report Bug", "About KDE Panel..." and "About KDE". As you can see, no "Add" option is available. I am sure it has something to do with a security setting somewhere in eihter SuSE or KDE but I cannot find it.
Finally figured out why I did not have the option to add applications to the kicker panel when logged in as a regular user. The kickerrc file in my home directory did not have write permissions. Once I changed the permissions and logged back in I was able to add application buttons. The file was located in /home/username/.kde/share/config.
