I've tried to locate the said above file and could not see
it anywhere.
Does the command ~/ means I should look somewhere else than
in the HOME directory?
Perhaps my understanding of Linux is not steep enough.
Would you mind to suggest me either another mail-list help
subscription so that I start my learning of Linux at a more
basic level.

Kicker doesn't "kick".
I went to the Control Center (kcontrol) and selected all
the settings in "Arrangement" and "Hiding" that I felt
appropriate. I then re-booted several times with different
options and I was unsucessful ;-(
I really think that I I can be guided to "find" the said
.kde directory, I could probably get the Panel to be
re-activated if I delete the
.kde/share/config/config/kickerrc file.
But I need to know where it is located in the root or user
directory to acheive this.
Your help will be most appreciated.
