I am running scientific linux 6.3 with kde 4.3.4 and my problem is that for some reason or other, i have now killed off the desktop by accidentally clicking the "x" that appears in the 'sidebar' [which may not be proper name] that pops out to right of desktop.
I searched through files that i thought would be associated with desktop without finding something related to 'sidebar'.
Only way I have found to restore 'sidebar' is by renaming my user name and creating user again, then copying files over from a backup.
I ran a search of internet with "ixquick", but found nothing related directly to such.
