I am running the newest OpenSuse.
Somehow, the running programs do not appear in the bottom panel.
I was messing around with the settings. My bad.
How do I get this back again? I have no ideas what's running.
Tks.

alt.os.linux.suse...
First of all, always keep in mind that the advice you'll get on Usenet
is only going to be as good as the information you provide.
You are not telling us what graphical user interface you are using, so
I'm going to assume that it's KDE 4 you're talking about. You're also
not exactly being very informative about what exactly you've "messed
up", so I can only assume that you've somehow managed to get rid of the
task manager.
That all said, if my assumptions are correct, then what you should do is
click on the "cashew" on the right hand side of the bottom panel - it's
not really a cashew, but that's what people call it. Then, click on
"Add widgets", and browse the list until you see "task manager". Pay
attention because as of the newest KDE versions, there are two different
task managers to choose from: one which shows the running applications
by name (eventually with an icon) and one which only shows icons. If
you pick the wrong one, then you'll have to delete it again and go
through the procedures again to add the other one.
So, let's assume that you're picking the right one for your preferences.
Double-click it, and then it'll be added to the panel, but probably to
the right hand side of everything on the panel. So you'll have to drag
it to the proper position again. You do this by hovering the mouse
cursor over the task manager, and then immediately from there over the
"handle" for the task manager, which will appear above it. Drag the
_handle_ to the correct position, and once everything is in place, click
the red "x" button on the dashboard - i.e. the settings panel - and then
right-click the "cashew" again, and choose "lock widgets". Once the
widgets are locked, they cannot be accidentally moved or deleted.
If any of my above assumptions were wrong, then you're going to have to
come back with a better explanation of what environment you are running
and what your problem is.
Hope this helps.

Yes, this is KDE.
I have followed most of what I humbly could, and the situation is not
the same, but it is good.
Again, thank you for your writing. I shall continue to study it.
