Re-enabling KDE apper aplet

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

I had some trouble with the KDE apper program and (in the process of fixing it) disabled
the KDE applet in the system tray that manages it.  It's not clear how to get the
applet back.  Can anyone tell me on how to re-enable it?

BTW: The problem with apper is a bug in PackageKit (apper's backend) for which
there's a work around, namely to delete /var/cache/PackageKit/25/hawkey/(a)System.solv .
 I did this, and it cured the problem.

Thanks - jon

I don't use KDE, so things may be different.  In Xfce, however, I'd 
right-click on the panel and go to Panel, Add New Items.  If you've 
actually removed it, it should be back in the list of applets.  Or, if 
there's a gap on the panel where it belongs, try right-clicking on it 
because I've had the icons go away a few times while the program's still 
there.  (Usually it's Orage that does this, but it could be any applet.)
