<p>OK guys,</p>
<p>I lucked out and stumbled on the fix for my artifact. Turns out
the message on the screen can be removed with the same key
combinations as used to remove widgets *from the panel*, i.e.
'Alt-D, R'. I think. Now I can't find where I saw that out of
context. Anyway, having done that fixes the problem installing
one-click launchers to the panels too.</p>
<p>I can go to bed happy tonight because *everything* I've set up is
now working correctly. Definitely KDE Plasma and definitely not
Kubuntu.</p>
<p>But I still need to figure out how to get terminal
shutdown/reboot/halt installed. Back to all that excellent
documentation in the wikis and the desktop. Must be in there
somewhere.</p>

NMGLUG,
<br>
<br>
I've got a two-day old install of Debian 10 with KDE Plasma
desktop on a brand-new 1TB SSD in a two or three year old 15"
HP-Notebook with an AMD CPU. This installed via Calamares running
from a live, non-free firmware iso, checksum and signature file
verified.
<br>
<br>
Mostly so far everything seems robust and beautiful, but there's
been considerable pathology with setting up the panels the way I
like.
<br>
<br>
Right-clicking on an application in either of the main application
menus (I have a cascading menu in the upper panel, and the default
menu in the lower panel) *should* show and permit the option of
installing a one-click launch icon on the associated panel--but
sometimes it does, and other times it doesn't.
<br>
<br>
Also, I had a dictionary widget in the upper panel that was
apparently missing one of the supporting files for some reason. In
association with a desktop crash, hard powerdown* and/or my
eventual removal of the widget, the error message somehow became
permanent. See attached screenshot.
<br>
<br>
Any suggestions for how I might best attempt to repair this?
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
<br>
Tom

*'ctrl-alt-esc' will kill Plasma (but leave application windows
running, presumably because they run in different threads) but I
don't yet know how to restart Plasma from the terminal, and for
some reason there is no 'shutdown', 'reboot' or 'halt' command
installed.
