Kubuntu 9.10(Panel (tray) and Flash(Adobe))

[promike]

Hello!
I've installed the new kubuntu system, and i have a few problems.
I've made another panel (tray) on my desktop, aaand
1)the second panel after a reboot or when i simply switch on my computer, only appear on the desktop#1. If I rotate my cube and switch to another desktop i haven't got this, only one panel (the standard tray). If i have a double click on my second panel then I can use this panel on the 2,3 and 4th desktop.
2) how can I set it to transparent? Sometimes this is glassy, sometimes had a color.

Flash
I can't use the flash application in the browser. I've installed the flashplugin-nonfree in the konsole, and i can see the flash animations, but it doesn't react for my mouse. Maybe freeze is the correct word for this? But i dunno, because forexample i can see the youtube videos, just i can't stop the movie, or if the page has a flash button, it respond if it had an onmouse animation, but ignore my click

For Flash and other restriced formats I'd advise you install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package:

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras

I'm not sure if this will fix your problem if you've installed flashplugin-nonfree though

Your flashplayer problem is a known bug. There are some possible workarounds.

Thank you, I've installed the restricted-extras and saw the link. I've done the solution 2, and now maybe the flash is ok. Thanks.
