How to remove/close the kicker?

I went thru all the setting that I could find and searched couple of forums but I still can't figure out how to close the kicker. I did find this thread

http://www.kde-forum.org/viewtopic.php?t=702

but it doesn't look like I have the panel.desktop file anywhere on my system. I'm running RH9.

Hi nidua18,

you have to tell us a little bit more. What do you want do to exactly?

I guess you mean you can't close KDE ?

I had similar problems on both MacosX (solved now) and on Windows/Cygwin, and the trick I found was to run in a terminal:

kdeinit_shutdown

that simply does what it says.

I use KDE everywhere: on Linux, Mac, and even Windows (with cygwin) !

I just want to close the kicker (taskbar) not the whole KDE environment. I want to use one of the kickers I can get for superkaramba.

Maybe RH calls it something else.
Do you have the autostart directory in the KDE installation dir?
(share/autostart).

You can try to execute the following command
in that dir to find the desktop file that starts kicker:
grep -ir Exec=kicker .

Disclaimer: I don't know Redhat and what they've done to KDE.

OK, I found the file, moved it to a diffrent directory, restarted KDE, the kicker is no longer there. Thanks you for your help.
