-<para>&kicker; is the application launcher panel of the Trinity Desktop
-Environment. By default, it appears along the bottom of the screen,
-and takes up the whole of the width of the screen, but this is
-configurable. &kicker; is something of a one-stop shop for (almost!)
-everything that you might want quick access to. Besides the &ticon;
-Menu, where you can start applications, &kicker; is also capable of
-running docked applets like the pager, the taskbar or the clock, and
-extensions, such as child panels. With all these options, you will
-probably want to configure &kicker; so that it works best for you. The
-next section describes some common ways to customize the panel.</para>

-<para>When you first start &tde;, kicker displays some icons next to
-the <guimenu>TDE</guimenu> menu. These can be used to start the
-applications that they represent. To see which application is launched
- by each icon, hold the mouse cursor over the icon until a tooltip (a
-small popup label) appears telling you the name of the application.</para>
-
-<para>These default icons might not represent the applications you use
-most often, so you can remove the ones you do not want and add icons
-for other applications that you use. To remove an icon, &RMB;-click on
-the icon, and select <guilabel>Remove <replaceable>application
-name</replaceable> Button</guilabel> in the popup menu that
-appears. To add a new icon, &RMB;-click on an empty space on the
-panel, and follow the menu entry <guisubmenu>Add Application to Panel
-</guisubmenu>. This leads you to a copy of the
-<guimenu>TDE</guimenu> menu, where you can find all of the &tde;
-applications. For example, to add an icon for the &juk; music player,
-follow through the menus to <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Add Application
-to Panel</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>&juk; (Music
-Player)</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. The icon will appear on the
-panel in the space that you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton>-clicked on.</para>

-<guisubmenu>Add New Panel</guisubmenu>.
-The items in the <guilabel>Add Applet</guilabel> window are small

-<guilabel>Desktop Preview &amp; Pager</guilabel><indexterm><primary>Pager</primary></indexterm>, which shows a small image of each of your virtual
-desktops. (For more information about virtual desktops, see <xref

-virtual desktop by clicking on its image in the desktop pager.

-<title>The System Tray</title>
-
-<!-- Simon Vermeersch -->
-<para>The system tray is where programs that are run, but not directly needed are
-kept. Some programs (like music players) are shown there, because you
-probably want to keep them open, but so that it does not take too much space on
-your screen, it will put an icon in the system tray.</para>
-
-<para>When you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on such an icon, a
-popup menu will appear where you can see some options of the program (like
-play, pause, stop, ... in a music player).</para>
-<para>When you <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click on it, the main window
-of the program will appear. If you hover your mouse above the icon, a tool
-tip will appear with some information (in the music player case information
-like the current song). Programs that normally support system tray icons are
-music players, IRC clients, organizers, ...</para>
-
-<para>In most of these programs you can configure if you want an icon to be
-shown or not. For other tricks and tips with the system tray see the section on <xref linkend="system-tray" />.</para>

-<title>Using the Clipboard</title>
-
-<indexterm><primary>Clipboard</primary></indexterm>
-
-<para>Very often, it's useful to move some text, or an object in a
-program, from one place to another. It's also very common to need to
-duplicate some text, for example, if you're typing the same thing
-several times. The system used for doing this is known as the
-<firstterm>clipboard</firstterm>. There are two slightly different ways to use this system,
-known technically as the <quote>selection</quote> and the
-<quote><glossterm>clipboard</glossterm></quote>. We'll look at them separately:

-<!-- TODO: Describe how to select text -->

-<sect2 id="the-selection">
-<title>The Selection</title>
-<indexterm><primary>Selection</primary></indexterm>
-
-<para>This method uses the mouse to copy text from one place to
-another. The method is:
-<orderedlist>
-
-<listitem><para>Select the text you want to copy.</para>
-</listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Click the &MMB; at the place you want the text to be
-copied to. This can be in the same program as you copied the text
-from, or in another program entirely.</para>
-</listitem>
-</orderedlist>
-If you have three buttons on your mouse, this is easy, but if not, all
-is not lost! If you have only two buttons, try clicking them both at
-the same time instead of the &MMB;.

-<indexterm><primary>Cut</primary></indexterm>
-<indexterm><primary>Paste</primary></indexterm>
-<para>With this method, you can copy text, or <quote>cut</quote> it
-(that is, remove it from one place and move it to another). You can
-use either the mouse and the menu entries, or the keyboard with this
-method. I'll list both ways, with the menu entry to use, followed by
-the keyboard shortcut which will do the same thing, like this:</para>
-<para>
-<menuchoice><shortcut><keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>X</keycap>
-</keycombo>
-</shortcut><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Cut</guimenuitem>

-<orderedlist>
-<title>Moving (<quote>Cutting</quote>) Text</title>
-<listitem><para>Select the text you want to cut.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>From the menu, select
-<menuchoice><shortcut><keycombo
- action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>X</keycap>
-</keycombo>
-</shortcut><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Cut</guimenuitem>
-</menuchoice>, and the text will be removed from its current location.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>Position the text cursor at the point you want to
-insert the text. This can be in the same application you got the text
-from, or another application entirely. Select
-<menuchoice><shortcut><keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>V</keycap>
-</keycombo>
-</shortcut><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem>
-</menuchoice>, and the text will appear at the point where you placed
-the cursor.</para>
-</listitem>
-</orderedlist>
-</para>

-<para>
-Copying text from one place to another is very similar:

-<listitem><para>Select the text you want to copy.</para>
-</listitem>
-<listitem><para>From the menu, select
-<menuchoice><shortcut><keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>C</keycap>
-</keycombo>
-</shortcut><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem>
-</menuchoice>, and the text will be copied in the clipboard.</para>
