Clicking it creates an icon in my panel almost but not quite identical to the icon created by nm-applet . I'll see if I can replace one by the other. (It's not obvious how, as there seems no way to remove the nm-applet icon once it is there.) I'm sure there is a way under KDE to start tasks on login, but I haven't found it yet! -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
