KDE4 popup notes [SOLVED]

In kDE3 I have been using popup notes a lot; as reminders or to compile lists, or keep 'how-to's handy.
In kDE4, however, I can only get at them via kontact.  Even though I have specified that they are to be placed on the taskbar, nothing appears.

'Standard' KDE4 problem, or just for Arch, or just me?

Any hint on what to do is appreciated.

Maybe the OP has this problem http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=26189
I don't use KDE so I can't help, but I still think that Mr. Occam doesn't need them :-)

Yes, and I cannot get it..  Did you use any special trick/procedure/whatever?

I tried the plasma notes applet.  This gives an icon on the taskbar, but clicking that icon does NOT let me start any note no matter how I try to click it.

Nope, nothing special. I just installed vanilla KDE 4.1 sometime ago and it was part and parcel of KDE (you know, it wasn't modularized in the 'olden' days). I've been updating ever since.

Exactly the same outputs as I have (except I installed it a few hours earlier).  The only thing left to do is to tweak each and every setting in Kontact..

Re: KDE4 popup notes [SOLVED]

Hm, the only think I can think of is that perhaps they are hidden in your taskbar? Long shot, I know...Apart from that there is no tweaking in knotes prefs.
