Package: kicker Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 Severity: normal I tried kasbar by following the upstream documentation [1]. I didn't quite like it and wanted to have it removed from my desktop. However, neither the menu nor the documentation showed how to deactivate it.
The workaround was to compare the contents of .kde with my backup.

I strongly believe, that any application that is 'installed' or started with a right mouse click, should be stoppable by similar means. This is the case for the External Taskbar Extension, another kicker Panel Extension.
