+<title>Using the &kmenu; and the Panel</title>
+
+<para>
+At the bottom of the screen you will find the desktop panel, which is called
+&kicker;. Use the panel to launch applications. Have a look at the
+button on the left with a large &ticon;.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This button is called the &kmenu;. When the mouse pointer hovers over the icon,
+a small arrow on the top indicates that it will pop up a menu if you
+click on it. The popup offers you easy access to all &tde;
+applications installed on your computer system.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Customizing &kicker;</title>
+
+<!-- FIXME: To add a button, use the little arrows on kicker, not the TDE menu
+I am not sure I agree - some distributions fade or hide the applet handles by default, but
+I haven't found one yet that hides the kmenu. (JLH) -->
+
+<para>If you use one application or tool very often, then you might want to have fast
+access to it. In this case you can add a single application or an entire sub-menu of the
+&kmenu; as a special quick-launch button on the panel. If you want to reach an application
+directly via a launch button, click with the &RMB; either on a clear space on the panel or on the
+&kmenu; icon. Select <menuchoice><guimenu>Panel Menu</guimenu> <guisubmenu>Add Application to Panel...
+</guisubmenu></menuchoice> and then navigate to the application or menu you would like to add to
+the panel.</para>
+
+
+<para>
+You can add an entire menu this way, or one of the &ticon;
+button sub-menus. For example, if you have &koffice; installed and
+want quick access to all the &koffice; applications, without having to
+navigate through the &kmenu;, then instead of choosing an
+application, click on the <guimenuitem>Add Menu to Main Panel</guimenuitem> menu
+entry. Thereafter you will have instant access to all the &koffice;
+applications, without having to put an icon for each on the panel.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+You can move all items of the panel around with the
+<guimenuitem>Move</guimenuitem> command of the context menu. Just click
+with the <mousebutton>third</mousebutton> mouse button (the
+<mousebutton>third</mousebutton> mouse button is normally the
+<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> button, but if you have configured your
+mouse differently, for example for left-handers, it might also be the
+<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> one). A menu will pop up where you can
+choose <guimenuitem>Move</guimenuitem>. Now move the mouse and see how
+the icon follows while still staying on the panel. When you are done,
+simply press the <mousebutton>first</mousebutton> mouse button (by default
+the <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> one). As you might have noticed,
+there is also a menu entry <guimenuitem>Remove</guimenuitem> in case you
+are tired of a certain launch button on your desktop.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Using Context menus</title>
+
+<para>
+This leads us to another interesting topic: in many places, you can
+click the <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> mouse button to display a
+<interface>context menu</interface> with choices that are applicable to
+the item you clicked. It is therefore always a good idea to try out the
+<mousebutton>third</mousebutton> mouse button on something, if you do
+not know what to do with it. Even the background of the desktops has
+such a menu!
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Other Panel features</title>
+
+<para>
+There are other interesting things possible with the panel. One
+might be important if you have a low resolution on your monitor: it is
+the <quote>hide-and-show</quote> function, activated by clicking on the
+small arrowed button, which is at one or both ends of the panel.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Perhaps you just do not like the panel extending the full width of the
+screen. That's easily changed!  &RMB; on an empty space in the panel,
+and choose <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Configure Panel...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. In the &kcontrolcenter;
+dialog that pops up, you can choose <guilabel>Length</guilabel> on
+the <guilabel>Appearance</guilabel> tab, and use the slider there to set
+the panel to less than 100% width.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you're following along, and have that dialog open anyway, then feel
+free to play with all the options, and use the
+<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to see the effect they have. You can
+easily reset everything to the default configuration, by simply pressing
+the <guibutton>Use Defaults</guibutton> button.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+By the way, if you are not sure what a certain button does in &tde;,
+just move the mouse pointer over it and wait for a short while: &tde;
+has a built-in mini context help, called <quote>tool tips</quote>, which
+explains the functionality of such controls in a few words.

+<sect1 id="want-command-line-back">
+<title>I want access to the command line!</title>
+
+<para>
+There is nothing to fear. &tde; does not remove the
+effective command line. You can move
+your files with the desktop, but you can also use the &UNIX; commands you are
+accustomed to. In fact,&tde; puts command line power at your fingertips,
+in perhaps some surprising places.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+&tde; provides a very sophisticated command line window called
+&konsole;. Choose <menuchoice><guimenu>TDE menu</guimenu>
+<guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu>
+<guimenuitem>Konsole</guimenuitem></menuchoice> to start it. This might
+be something you want on your panel.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Sometimes, you only want to enter one command on the command line. In
+these cases, you do not need a full-blown terminal. Just press
+<keycombo>&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> and you get a
+small command line where you can enter one command. The command line
+window will disappear afterwards, but it remembers your command.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When you pop up this window (that is called
+<application>minicli</application>) and press the <keycap>Up
+arrow</keycap>, you can browse through all the commands you have
+previously entered. Also, you can enter &URL;s in
+<application>minicli</application> to open a &konqueror; window with
+the specified &URL;.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+&konqueror; and the text editor &kate; can both display terminal windows,
+which behave just like &konsole;. In &konqueror;, you can turn this
+on with the menu choice
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Window</guimenu><guimenuitem>Show Terminal
+Emulator</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. The embedded terminal will display
+at the bottom of your &konqueror; window, and the really clever part
+is that it will follow your clicks in the file manager view, changing
+folder as you do. In &kate; you can display a terminal with the
+menu choice <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Show
+Console</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
+</para>
+
+<tip>
+<para>
+To display a &UNIX; man page, enter
+<userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>command</replaceable></userinput>
+in <application>minicli</application>, where <replaceable>command</replaceable>
+is the name of a &UNIX; command.
+</para>
+</tip>
+
+<tip>
+<para>
+To search for a word or words on the Google search engine, you can try entering
+<userinput><command>gg:</command><replaceable>word or
+words</replaceable></userinput>. There are a whole lot more of these
+shortcut commands, and you can even add your own!  Take a look in
+&kcontrolcenter;, in the tab <menuchoice><guilabel>Web Browsing</guilabel>
+	<guilabel>Enhanced Browsing</guilabel></menuchoice>.
+</para>
+</tip>
+
+<para>
+Finally, there's a way to have your command line always available, no
+matter what you're doing - add one to your &kicker; panel!
+</para>
+
+<para>Simply &RMB; click on an empty space in the panel and choose
+<menuchoice><guilabel>Add Applet to Panel...</guilabel></menuchoice>. In the dialog that appears,
+scroll down until you see the <guilabel>Run Command</guilabel> list item. Select
+it with the &LMB; and click <guilabel>Add to Panel</guilabel>. This will embed a mini-cli
+directly into your panel, complete with command history.</para>
+
+<para>
+In conclusion, the command line is never far from view when using &tde;.

+<title>Switching between windows</title>

+<para>
+Now that we know how to deal with windows, we encourage you to open
+some other windows using the panel, since we will now discuss how to
+switch between different windows. Since this is such a common
+activity, &tde; offers several ways to do it; pick your favorite!
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Many graphical user interface systems require users to click the mouse in a window
+to begin using it. This is &tde;'s default behavior, termed
+<quote>Click To Focus</quote> focus policy. You can configure
+your desktop in a way that moving the mouse pointer on to a window will
+activate it. This is called <quote>Focus Follows Mouse</quote>. If you
+select this policy using the <link linkend="configure">&tde; Control
+Center</link>, the window under the mouse pointer is always the active
+one. It does not necessarily come to the front automatically, but you
+can still click on to the titlebar or the border of a window or, a
+&tde; special, you can use the &Alt; key and click the &MMB;
+anywhere on the window to raise it.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Here are some other methods to switch windows:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Pick a window from the <emphasis>window list</emphasis> menu. To open
+the menu, click the &MMB; on
+an empty area of the desktop, or click the icon with several windows
+on the panel, or finally click the up arrow at the left hand end of
+the taskbar in the panel.

+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="using-taskbar">
+<title>Using the Taskbar</title>
+
+<para>
+The <interface>taskbar</interface> displays a list of small icons, one
+for each window on the desktop. In the default &tde; setup the taskbar
+is located inside the panel, but can also be located at the top or
+the bottom of the screen.</para>
+
+<para>
+The taskbar is powerful. In the default configuration, if you
+have more than one window from the same application open, they will be
+<quote>grouped</quote>, so that you see one icon per application in
+the taskbar.</para>
+
+<para>A simple &LMB;
+click on the taskbar button will pop up a list of the open windows for
+that application and you can choose the window you want to
+use. Choosing one of these entries with the
+<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> will bring you to the selected
+window immediately. Click on a taskbar entry with the
+<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> and you will see a menu allowing you
+to operate on all the windows grouped under that icon, or each window
+individually.</para>
+
+<para>
+You can choose to see all the windows on all the desktops in your
+taskbar, regardless of which desktop you are currently viewing, or to only
+see the icons for the desktop you are viewing. You can choose
+to ungroup the icons, so each open window will have its own icon
+in the taskbar. There are many more options available simply by
+right clicking on the taskbar handle (the small textured bar at the
+left hand side) and choosing <guimenuitem>Configure Taskbar...</guimenuitem>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The icons on the taskbar resize themselves to make room for
+applications, so you can fit many more applications than you might
+think. Making the panel wider will let the taskbar icons take on a row
+and column layout, but they will still resize to fit more icons.

+<para>
+Now, what was that <guilabel>Sticky</guilabel> button?
+</para>

+Perhaps you have more windows open than space on your

+<listitem>
+<para>
+Leave all windows open (cluttered desktop)

+
+<listitem>

+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>

+</listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>
+The third option is the way to go! &tde; can handle several different desktops,
+each with its own set of application windows. The default configuration provides four
+desktops. You can switch between the virtual desktops easily with a
+click on one of the desktop buttons on the panel. Also <keycombo
+action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>F1...F4</keycap></keycombo> will send you
+to the corresponding desktop immediately, or <keycombo
+action="simul">&Ctrl; <keycap>Tab</keycap></keycombo> will cycle through
+the desktops.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Virtual desktops are nice. Yet sometimes you want a window to be
+present on <emphasis>every</emphasis> desktop. This could be, for example,
+a small chat window, an alarm clock or whatever. In this case you can
+use the above mentioned <quote>sticky</quote> button that will pin the
+window on the background so that it will appear on every virtual
+desktop.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The sticky button can also be used to move a window from one virtual
+desktop to another one: push the sticky pin on the window, switch to a
+different desktop, and release the pin by pushing it again. You can
+achieve the same result by using the context popup menu of the
+window's entry in the taskbar (menu item <guimenuitem>To Current
+Desktop</guimenuitem>) or the <guimenuitem>To Desktop</guimenuitem>
+option on the window operations menu.

+<!-- NB Deliberate use of 'directory' rather than 'folder', since we're talking -->
+<!-- about folders on disk -->
+<para>
+A common metaphor of graphical desktops is the use of folders to
+represent folders on your hard disk. Folders contain files and
+other folders. A &tde; application called &konqueror;, the Trinity File
+Manager, uses this metaphor to help you manage your files.

+<title>Using &konqueror;</title>

+<para>
+The first time you start &konqueror;, a window with lots of icons in it
+appears. This is a &konqueror; window displaying the files in your
+home folder (the area where your personal files are stored). The
+pathname of the folder is displayed under the window's tool bar. If
+you do not see such a window now, click the icon on the panel that
+looks like a folder with a picture of a house.

+&tde; comes with a set of applications to view and edit files of many

+display the file. If it does not know what application to start to open
+a file you selected, &konqueror; will prompt you for the name of the

+<title>Dragging and Dropping Icons</title>
+
+<para>
+To copy or move a file, simply drag its icon to the desktop, to
+another &konqueror; window, or to a folder icon. When you release the
+button, &konqueror; displays a menu to allow you to choose to copy,
+move, or create a link to the file.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+Note that if you choose to create a link, &tde; creates a &UNIX;
+symbolic link (not a hard link), so if you move or delete the original
+file, the link will be broken.

+&MIME; types are a way of describing the contents of files. You might
+be used to using file extensions for that purpose, and you might know
+that on &UNIX; systems the file extension often bears little or no
+relation to the contents of the file. On the other hand, it might be

+will not operate on files that are not named <literal
+role="extension">.gz</literal>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+&MIME; types naturally make use of filename patterns, but not
+necessarily the extensions - you can set up any filename pattern you
+like. For example, if you always want to open any files relating to a
+particular client with &kate;,  and you make a habit of naming the files
+with the client's name at the beginning so that they naturally group in
+the &konqueror; window, then you can set up a filename pattern that
+matches <literal>^<replaceable>clientname</replaceable>*</literal>.
+Then any files that have <replaceable>clientname</replaceable> at the
+beginning (the <token>^</token> character means <quote>starts with...</quote>) and
+without any regard to the rest of the filename.
