This is most likely a misunderstanding on my side, but a KDE3 applet (as in panel applet) needs the KDE3 panel since it is basically a panel plugin/extension. > On start up, ksensors, kalsamix and such will simply freeze midway--their > ghost windows are on the desktop and they will not minimize and dock to the > panel.

I take it you are talking about applications which have the option of closing their window and keep a system tray icon as their only GUI, right? As far as I know there have been some issues with system tray (sometime also referred to as notification area) and a couple of related fixes. Though they should only affect the tray portion, no idea why the application startup is causing you problems. > If I go to a shell and kill dcopserver, I can restart all this stuff and > have it work 100%.

This is strange, only a process running as root (or being suid root) can do that. Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
