If you are not in the mood to reboot your communicator each time you change the CBA panel image, then this tip is for you.

How to restart desk
1. Close all open tasks.
2. Go to desk
3. Press Shift-Ctrl-Chr-K. This will close Desk and one of the other hidden apps will appear (Tel, Messaging, Internet, Contacts, Calendar, Office or Extras)
4. Repeat the previous step until only the left hand status window is visible with the rest of the screen blank.
5. Press the Desk button to restart Desk.

BTW if you keep on pressing the Shift-Ctrl-Chr-K keys, then your communicator will eventualy perform a soft reboot.

be careful when using shift + ctrl + chr + k to kill tasks...

its advisable to use switcher instead or taskmanager...
