I also lost the menu icon on my kde screen - it's back - another problem

I got the menu icon back (Kickoff Application Launcher), eventually, but
I've now got a new problem. I'm on Slack 13.0 x86_64.
In the past I set an option using "Task Manager Setting" so that only
tasks from the current desktop were shown in the taskbar at the bottom.

Now the "Task Manager Setting" has vanished. I used to start it by right
clicking the task bar at the bottom and selecting it from the resulting
popup. But since I replaced the Kickoff Application Launcher icon the
"Task Manager Setting" has vanished. (Or maybe a long time ago - I only
ever set it once when I installed Slack 13.0 many moons ago).

Anybody any ideas how to get it back?
I've already tried the Task Manager widget and also deleted my
~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc
and rebooted forcing a new default plasma-appletsrc but all to no avail.

Cheers,
Peter

Just accidentally found out how to do it:
1/ Remove the Task Manager widget from the bottom task bar.
2/ Start a Task Manager widget on the Desktop (NOT on the bottom task bar)
3/ Now the "Task Manager Setting" is available - set desired options.
4/ Drag the floating Task Manager toolbar onto the bottom task bar.
The "Task Manager Setting" option is now still available.

I've been fighting this for more than hour - maybe the tip will help
somebody else.

Cheers,
Pte
