-
-<para> The &tde; panel (often referred to as &kicker;) is the bar that
-you'll usually find at the bottom of the screen when you start up &tde;
-for the first time. For detailed help on &kicker;'s usage you can type
- <ulink url="help:/kicker">help:/kicker</ulink> in &konqueror; to read
-the user manual.</para>
-
-<para>The panel gives you quick access to applications and makes it
-easier for you to organize your desktop. Using the &tde; panel you
-can:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>launch applications using the <guimenu>TDE</guimenu> menu or
-the application buttons</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>switch desktops using the panel's pager applet</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>switch active windows, and minimize or maximize them</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>browse folder using the browser menu functionality
-</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>access panel applets that extend the panel's functionality,
-offering for example mixers, clocks or a system monitor</para> </listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<sect2 id="panel-position">
-<title><guilabel>Arrangement</guilabel></title>
-
-<para>In the <guilabel>Arrangement</guilabel> tab you can configure the size and
-position of the panel.</para>
-
-<para>If you have more than one panel on screen, you can select at the
-top of the window which panel you wish to configure.</para>
-
-<para>In the section labeled <guilabel>Position</guilabel> is a set of
-12 small buttons arranged in a square. Each button corresponds to a
-location for the panel. Click on a button and notice where the panel
-is located on the preview monitor to the right.</para>
-
-<tip><para>Generally, the available space in kicker is used more
-efficiently if the panel is aligned horizontally, &ie; attached to the
-top or bottom screen border.</para></tip>
-
-<para>In the section labeled <guilabel>Length</guilabel>, you can use
-the combo box and slider to adjust the <emphasis>minimum</emphasis>
-length of the panel. If you place a mark in the checkbox labeled
-<guilabel>Expand as required to fit contents</guilabel>, the panel
-will become longer if more space is needed. When less space is
-required on the panel, the panel will shrink down to the minimum size.
-If there is no mark in the checkbox, then the panel is fixed to the
-length specified in this section.</para>
-
-<para>The final section of this table is labeled
-<guilabel>Size</guilabel>, and refers to the
-<emphasis>height</emphasis> of the panel. The panel's size can be
-<guilabel>Tiny</guilabel>, <guilabel>Small</guilabel>,
-<guilabel>Medium</guilabel>, <guilabel>Large</guilabel> or
-<guilabel>Custom</guilabel>. If you choose
-<guilabel>Custom</guilabel> mode, you can resize &kicker; by
-specifying a height in the combobox.</para>
-
-<para>If you have multiple monitors, you can configure the panel for
-each screen entirely independently. If you are not sure which screen
-is which, Press the <guibutton>Identify</guibutton> and a number will
-appear centred on each screen.</para>
-<!-- TODO: It's not centered on dual head non-xinerama, they both
-appear on the primarey head, file a bug -->
-
-<para>Then simply choose the screen you wish to configure from the
-drop down box labelled <guilabel>Xinerama screen</guilabel>, or choose
-<guilabel>All Screens</guilabel> to have identical configurations on
-each.</para>

-<sect2 id="panel-hiding">
-<title>Hiding</title>
-
-<para>Depending on your screen resolution you may find that the panel
-takes away too much of your precious screen real estate. To save
-screen space, the panel offers manual hiding of the panel, an auto
-hide feature, and the ability to allow other windows to lay on top of
-the panel. These features are selected in the section entitled
-<guilabel>Hide Mode</guilabel>.</para>
-
-<para>The <guilabel>Hide Mode</guilabel> section has three options:</para>
-<variablelist>
-<varlistentry>
-<term><guilabel>Only hide when panel-hiding button is clicked</guilabel></term>
-<listitem><para>When this option is selected, the panel will remain visible at
-the location you defined unless you click on the button at the far right (for horizontally
-oriented) or bottom (for vertically oriented) button. This button has an arrow on it pointed
-to the edge of the screen.</para>
-
-<para>Once clicked, the panel will disappear. If the button is clicked again, the panel will re-appear
-at the same location.</para>
-</listitem>
-</varlistentry>
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term><guilabel>Hide automatically</guilabel></term>
-<listitem><para>If this option is selected, then the panel will automatically disappear after
-the number of seconds specified in the combo box below the option. To make the panel reappear,
-simply move the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen where the panel is located, and the
-panel will reappear immediately.</para>
-
-<para>If you place a mark in the checkbox labeled <guilabel>Show panel when switching
-desktops</guilabel>, the panel will automatically reappear when you switch desktops. (The panel
-will disappear again after the specified number of seconds.)</para>
-</listitem>
-</varlistentry>
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term><guilabel>Allow other windows to cover the panel</guilabel></term>
-<listitem><para>As this option's label implies, the panel is always on the desktop when
-this option is selected. It is now possible, however, for application windows to lay
-on top of the panel.</para>
-
-<para>To restore the panel, simply move the mouse cursor to the screen
-location specified in the drop box labeled <guilabel>Raise when the pointer touches
-the screen's:</guilabel>. You can change this value by selecting one of the choices
-provided in the drop down box.</para>
-
-<para>Once the panel has moved back on top of the application window, it will stay there
-until an application window becomes active again.</para>
-</listitem>
-</varlistentry>
-</variablelist>
-
-<para>The next section down is labeled <guilabel>Panel-Hiding Buttons</guilabel>. It
-consists of two check boxes: <guilabel>Show left panel-hiding button</guilabel> and
-<guilabel>Show left panel-hiding button</guilabel>. Use these checkboxes to show and
-hide the left and right manual panel hiding buttons.</para>
-
-<para>If there is no mark in the checkbox labeled <guilabel>Animate
-panel hiding</guilabel>, then whenever the toolbar is hidden, is simply disappears. If there
-is a mark in the check box, then the panel appears to slide off the edge of the screen.</para>
-
-<para>You can determine how quickly the panel appears to move by adjusting the slider from
-<guilabel>Fast</guilabel> to <guilabel>Slow</guilabel>.</para>
-</sect2>
-
-<sect2 id="panel-menus">
-<title>Menus</title>
-
-<para>In the <guilabel>Menus</guilabel> tab you can configure the panel
-menu's behavior. This affects the TDE menu you will often use to launch
-applications, the browser menus you can use to access folders and other
-menus like the recent documents menu.</para>
-
-<para>The <guilabel>TDE Menu</guilabel> frame offers you some options to
-configure the <guimenu>TDE</guimenu> menu's functionality. This frame consists
-of 4 items:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>The <guilabel>Menu item format:</guilabel> radio
-buttons have three options. This determines how the application name
-(&ie; &konqueror;, &kword;, &etc;) and the description (&ie; Web
-Browser, Word Processor, &etc;) are displayed on the &kmenu;.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>The <guilabel>Optional Menus</guilabel> checkboxes allow
-you to
-determine which special menu items appear in the &kmenu;.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Bookmarks</guilabel>
-menu allows you to quickly select from the same bookmarks that are available in &konqueror;.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Find</guilabel> menu offers access to the &kfind; application to search for local files, and a quick link to a search engine to search for things on the Internet.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Konqueror Profiles</guilabel> menu allows you to
-launch &konqueror; with any of your configured profiles.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Network Folders</guilabel> menu can launch a
-&konqueror; file manager window displaying any of your configured
-network folders.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Preferences</guilabel> menu allows you to launch each &kcontrol; module
-directly from the TDE menu.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Print System</guilabel> menu provides several menu entries to help manage
-the printer(s) attached to your system.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Quick Browser</guilabel> menu gives you quick links to locations on your hard drive.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Recent Documents</guilabel> menu lists the most recently edited documents and will automatically
-launch the application to edit or view this document.</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>System</guilabel> menu allows you quick access to
-some commonly visited places, including your Home folder, and the
-Trash. You may find this useful instead of having a separate entry for
-each of these in the &kmenu;</para>
-<para>The <guilabel>Terminal Sessions</guilabel> menu provides menu items to launch several different types of
-terminal programs (command line interfaces).</para>
-</listitem>
-
-<listitem><para><guilabel>Show side image</guilabel> will add a small
-image to the side of the menu. This is purely decorative.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>The <guibutton>Edit TDE Menu</guibutton> button launches the &tde;
-menu editor.</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para> In the <guilabel>QuickBrowser Menus</guilabel> area you can configure
-whether the panel's browser menus will show hidden files or not (hidden
-files on &UNIX; systems are those whose filenames begin with a dot) as
-well as how many files at most will be shown in a browser menu. The
-latter option may be especially useful if you have a rather small screen
-resolution, as then the browser menus will quickly fill up your screen
-when you browse folders containing many files.</para>
-
-<para>The quick start section in the TDE menu offers quick access to
-programs you have used often or recently. In the <guilabel>Quick Start Menu Items</guilabel>
-frame you can choose whether
-this section will show the most recently or the most frequently used
-programs. Using the option <guilabel>Maximum number of entries</guilabel>
-combo box, you can configure how many programs the quick start
-section will remember.</para>
