this may sound a little obvious, but i made the same mistake when i started 
out:  are you sure you didn't just hide it?  the "kicker" has the ability to 
slide off the screen to the side to give you more screen space.  if your 
monitor's settings aren't the best, you might not be able to see the little 
button (very small) that will slide the kicker back onto the screen...

if kicker is still running (various others on this thread have shown you how 
to check), try adjusting your monitor settings to be sure that you can see 
the very edge of your desktop.  you may find that there's a little grey 
button there with a black triangle on it that if clicked, will slide out your 
kicker again.

baring that, just try clicking in the corner of every part of your screen...

if that doesn't help, do this:

  - get out of kde and go to a console.

  - delete any config files that have to do with kicker (just look for files 
under /home/yourUserName/.kde/ that have "kicker" in the filename.

  - restart kde.


good luck ;-)
