#103 Crash after install/changes(1 solved)

[mti_stanz]

After install I placed docker on left side of screen and was adjusting preferences--font face & size--when crash occured.
I am also wanting/needing to adjust the length of the docker, as it cuts off the icons and clock.
I've not added any icons--its still default--I just adjusted font size which made it smaller, but to small.
Attached is the crash report and screenshot.
Thanks for the kewl work!

Update: From advice--I moved the kde panel--top right corner and moved the docker to the bottom--because of unusual size and clock/icons being cut off.
I did not have the hiding option enabled--but the docker disappeared.
I then tried to call it with the Konsole, but when typing in--nothing entered and it gave its beep upon key press.
I restarted X and the docker appeared on the bottom of screen--with default setting.
I choose firefox for the docker web browser, and tried to repeat that--but it is not saving my entry.
Sorry this is long--just trying to be helpful.
Will read up more for any updates/fixes you may have.

Before 2nd crash I was still trying to have Firefox be default browser in panel.
I found and ventured into /.kde/share/apps/ksmoothdock/menu then properties-->Application, to change from default konqueror to firefox.
After this crash, I wasn't ready to restart X, so I ran 'ksmoothdock' in a terminal to get it running. Once I again entered the change and ticked 'OK', this error showed in the term window: $ ksmoothdock
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x30007bf

Shall I attempt to make changes without ksmoothdock running?
Why won't any changes be accepted? Permissions are all good.

===Update to 'Saving Changes'===

Without ksmoothdock running, the changes I made concerning the Web Browser were
saved and loaded with X restart.
This includes the command: firefox -u stanz (username needed)
and the change of icon: my Ffox pref.
