Suggestion: Set defaults button for panel.

Due to the way panel is now controlled in KDE4 (and that confuses many a newbe as well as ex KDE 3 users), I often see people struggling with lost icons etc. as a result of their trials to set things up the way they want it..  Wouldn't it be nice for them to be able to just click on a button/link within settings that gives them back the default settings for Panel? Don't know how hard it is to do but it could save some a headache or even a fresh install not to mention avoiding a heavy drinking session in despair.

Well, for me Kicker was always a lot more of a headache, but here's the simplest method to get the default Plasma settings back:

Code: [Select]

kquitapp plasma
rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc
plasma &

Yeah, you just pointed to the biggest problem for all using KDE4/Linux (Or is it Linux/KDE4).
It was a long road to become as good as free from command line which was, let's be honest, not a home user friendly environment. not after Win95 and the mouse etc. that openend up PC's to the masses.
We now enter with KDE4 a new era of "geek stuff" which the masses with reason will reject.
Saying that, thanks for this option, it will be of use in the near future while it indicates that a simple link "Reset Panel" can't be far out this way.  . Maybe even a overall user friendlier and more agile KDE4 will pop up at the end of the day.
