KDE4's panel configuration is messy and counter-intuitive compared to KDE3's, which was superb. Please enable a standard (e.g. Windows-type in decades of use) KDE3-like option to select the panel with the right mouse button, and to not have the left-click icon for configuration taking up space, which you have to go to the top right corner for (to even change the placement of a panel icon.) Please enable an option to not have a drop-down box for configuration that has seven icons to use to merely size and place the panel. Please enable the option for a single, immediate menu you can use to configure everything the panel--going to system settings or something if necessary. Maybe it would be best to, besides allowing a KDE3-style menu, to allow a KDE3-style panel, which might take care of another panel bug I reported.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install OS with KDE4
2. try to configure the panel
3.
Actual Results:  
When you want to do something simple to the panel in a standard GUI way--i.e. like Windows (I do not know about MacOS,) it can seem very difficult compared to KDE3, and once you figure out the KDE4 panel one still may not like it as much. In KDE4 it takes longer to move an icon on the panel, and to configure panel placement and options. The seven icons used to change the panel are more counter-intuitive than a configuration program. If you try to make the panel the same size as an X terminal line, also like a taskbar or toolbar on a program, it is now impossible because the pointless, excessive drop-down box is in the way, and there is no KDE3-type configuration to automatically do that,

Expected Results:  
You should be able to do a quick mouse movement and access one menu, or also the KDE configuration program, to configure the panel, that also possibly showed what it was like, like KDE3.

The first time I tried to configure the KDE4 panel, I think it took me HOURS to figure it out. I probably gave up and used a different WM until KDE4 stopped crashing in later releases, when I took the time to figure it out.
