    Welcome to the forums!

    When you say toolbar, are you talking about the toolbar in an application, or a panel or taskbar in your desktop environment?

    Have you tried logging out then back in? That may restore it. Which version of Suse???

    BTW xkill is a dangerous utility too easy to do something wrong..See info xkill (in a console)

    Here is how to kill a runaway process

    open a console

    type

    ps -A

    this will list all processes by ID (PID)
    find the name of the runaway program
    note the number at the beginning of the line (the PID)

    type

    kill PID where PID is the number you found.
