how to add to a "full panel"
You can do it in two ways to find that space... 1. Close all running applications. Click where the application taskbar icon is and follow the instructions above. or 2. Switch to a second desktop where you have nothing running. When done adding it to the panel, right click the "Indicator Applet" and select "move", then move the mouse to position it where you want it. Left click to release. E
