Bug#440336: kasbar: started by right click, but cannot be stopped by similar means
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. The relevant part of the diff is shown here:

Loging out of kde and in via a terminal and manually deleting the lines marked with '+' solved the problem for me.
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.
