[solved] KDE 4.1 lost the taskbar.

Last night I accidentaly deleted the task bar in KDE, I have managed to create a new panel with app launch and system tray, but It dosn't show the running programs accross the bottom.

How do I restore the default taskbar?  Root account still has the default but I can't figure out were the setting are stored.

Thanks in advance!

Use that yellow thingie at the right edge to add a miniprogram/widget (as you already did) and choose the Window List (my KDE is German but that should be the name nevertheless).

Thanks byte, that got me in the right direction, It was actually called Task Manager though, I'd ignored that one thinking it would be to start the System Activity window.

Now I'm just missing the buttons to switch between desktops.
Edit: Found it, it's called pager.

Figured out what all the widgets were called by logging in as root (I had not messed that up:)) then add widgets and select currently running widgets from the listbox wrote those down then logged back in to my user account to set that up right.
