[Sharp ROM v3.13]
Hello, everyone. I did something very stupid, and now I\'m missing applets from my 5500\'s system tray (for lack of a better term; please correct me if necessary) and can\'t figure out how to get them back.
I had been using the applet-monitor and subapplet applets (for those who are unfamiliar, the subapplet extends the system tray, adding a second line of applet icons which pops up when an arrow icon is pressed in the \"standard\" system tray). To give myself more room on the standard system tray, I moved the volume applet onto the subapplet tray. Well, I managed to move the activation icon for the subapplet tray onto the subapplet tray itself, preventing me from invoking the thing. When I realized my error, I tried uninstalling applet-monitor and subapplet, but all the icons I had in the subapplet tray are still gone-- including system volume, which I wish to mute altogether.
Reboots and restarts haven\'t helped, and I\'d hate to have to full-reset the Z for such a silly thing. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated; thanks very much in advance.

To restore all the default applets, run the following as root:
cd /
tar xvf root/.home_default.tar home/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets

You\'re my hero.
Thanks so much!
-
cd /opt/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets
mv .subapplet.so subapplet.so
may also work

I must really write the postrm script for the SubApplet to unhide any hidden applets.... my apologies (one of the few remaining rfe\'s that was left to do).
About the only way you could move the subapplet onto its tray would be using the AppletManager - the SubApplet can\'t move itself. You might have been able to use the AppletManager to unhide the subapplet.
Really you shouldn\'t need to use the AppletManager - the SubApplet can move applet on and off its applet bar or disable them completely - customise the names used in the menu as well as their order....... Click and hold the SubApplet icon to popup the menu for enabling disabling and do the rest of the configuration by clicking on the (i) button at the left of the subapplet bar..
