OK, here's an easy one. I accidentally made my trash can go away. WHere did it go and how do I get it back? The applet is still running but the icon is missing.

I would google that

I did, no one seems to know how to restart the applet. All I find is an explanation of what a trash can IS!

Right click bottom panel, select add to panel and add trashcan back to panel.

OK, that put it back on the taskbar. How do I get it to return to it's usual place in the lower right corner? Naturally, it's probably good enough where it is; I can see it and delete my trash again. I'm just being anal.

Then, when I have nothing better to do, I'll try to figure out how to manipulate content on my iPod. I understand Linux and iPods are not good pals.
