OK, the whole set of panels, however many you may run, and whatever you |
| 18 |
run on them, is "kicker". The specific button you are referring to, with |
| 19 |
the K on it, that contains the menu with all those entries, is the |
| 20 |
"KMenu". KMenu is of course just one button out of all sorts of buttons, |
| 21 |
applets, and additional extension panels, that is possible to put in |
| 22 |
kicker. As it happens, the KMenu is one of several there by default. |

Well, you /did/ say you were looking for an "automatic" way to get it |
| 38 |
back. It just turned out more "automatic" than you expected! =8^) Of |
| 39 |
course, the down side to that is that because it came back on its own, you |
| 40 |
really can't be sure what caused it to disappear in the first place. =8^( |

Yes, it is, or rather, the KMenu is just one of the kicker applets. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
As for everything regaining all the arguments and file associations, |
| 49 |
that's not entirely surprising, since KDE normally stores those as |
| 50 |
attributes of the menu items in the KMenu. When you lost access to the |
| 51 |
menu, KDE lost access to all its file associations and the like as well. |
| 52 |
Whatever restored the menu therefore restored the file associations, since |
| 53 |
they are stored in the same place. |
