[arch-general] Help me recover KDE-Plasma context menu
I changed the plasma desktop behavior to show application launcher menu on right click. Now I'm unable to set wallpaper etc. How to revert to default setting if not by rm -r ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma* -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps

Nilesh, Have you tried restarting plasma itself? Bring up the run dialog (Alt+F2) or use konsole or xterm and enter the following 3 commands to restart it: kbuildsycoca4 kquitapp plasma-desktop kstart plasma-desktop (You can just copy & paste it into console). If you find yourself needing to restart plasma often, the you can put those commands in a small script which can be very handy. Just create a file with the following 4 lines: #!/bin/bash kbuildsycoca4 kquitapp plasma-desktop >/dev/null 2>&1 kstart plasma-desktop & >/dev/null 2>&1 Save it and make it executable 'chmod 0755 filename' and then put it somewhere in your path (or softlink it somewere in your path). I call this script 'rsplasma' on my box and I just put it in /usr/local/bin. If resetting plasma doesn't work, you can try removing the launcher you installed on the right and then re-add the launcher in the default left position. (it shouldn't make any difference where the launcher is in the panel, but a lot of things like this just go wrong in kde4....) Good luck. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
