greetings one and all.

new install of centos 6.8.

3 kde panels @ left, top, right sides.

left and top panel are for program selection. right panel for active running programs.

added 'launcher' icons to left and top panels, but panels are not retaining launcher icons.

when i close kde to save ~/.kde file and reopen kde, 1, 2, or all 3 panels will be missing launcher.

has anyone else seen such or know of cure?

much help appreciated.

tia.
