[NTLUG:Discuss] kde4.2 question

[Fred]

Here's a good one...my kid's new HP laptop is running 
opensuse 11.1 and kde 4.2.2. Somehow they managed
to kill the status bar, activity bar, whatever it is along the
bottom of the desktop. Since kde 4.2.2 is now so much like
windows, there has to be a button in the bottom-left to 
click to access applications. I cannot bring up the kde menu.

Any idea of how to get it back? Google didn't help.
