Thanks for the reply Dwight,

KDE 4.

I had a problem with an intermittent right mouse button that caused several 
applets to disappear from the task bar. I got one back in it's correct place 
and a second that is under the cashew icon and a third (the net applet) that 
doesn't do anything except show that I'm always connected to the Internet even 
when I'm not.

The update applet used to display a red exclamation mark when updates were 
available. Now a dialog box flashes a messages for a split second telling me 
that updates are available. There must be a setting somewhere that I had 
inadvertently turned off.
