How do I make my task bar hide when it's not being accessed?

[Steven W. Orr]

Under F9, kde, I don't see how to get to the controls to cause my taskbar 
to hide? Anyone know where the controls are?

TIA

Update to the new KDE packages using yum. You will get auto hide feature.
To enable auto hiding:
 o Unlock the widgets.
 o Click on task bar plasma cashew.
 o Click more settings.
 o Click auto hide.

Thanks,

I feel like a mental midget! I did the update so now I'm running kde-4.1. 
It looks good. I just don't see how to "Unlock the widgets". If I can get 
that far then I'm ready for the next challenge of The Mighty Cashew.

You can unlock the widgets by clicking the color palette icon on the 
top-right corner of the screen or by right-clicking the plasma panel. 
If you don't see an "Unlock widgets" option there, this is because 
they're already unlocked. In this case, you'll see "Lock widgets".

Thanks Marcelo. I'd have never found that. :-)
