I'm not sure what I did, but my KDE panel at the bottom of the screen is a mess. Isn't there a config file somewhere I can delete or modify to get back to the default?
Thanks in advance.

Re: How to reset KDE?
The KDE 4 panel is using plasma:
Stop the plasma desktop (konsole):
Rename plasma-appletsrc /1/:Code:kquitapp plasma
Start the plasmaCode:mv ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc_backup
Note !Code:plasma
This will reset the plasma desktop (all plasmoids) to the default settings.
/1/ Or remove the plasma-appletsrc or use the file manager (dolphin, konqueror) or use a file editor (it is a text file).
If you want to reset whole KDE to the defaults:
Log out - When you are in the login screen - don't login - press: Ctrl + Alt + F1.
This should start virtual console.
Login in the text mode. After you are in, rename your existing kde folder:
Press: Ctrl + Alt + F7. Now you should be in the graphical login screen. Login and KDE should build new Kubuntu/KDE desktop with default settings.Code:mv /home/<user>/.kde /home/<user>/kdebackup
Your old kde settings are in the kdebackup folder.Before you edit, BACKUP !

Whenever this happens to me I use rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma* followed by a reboot.Comment
