Description Mike 2007-12-19 16:21:39 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

The plasma show desktop effect shows an icon in the taskbar when it is showing.

This never happens on the first toggle of a session, right? It seems that the window flags that are set in the constructor are being reset after the window is hidden.

Lubos, setting flags on the window just before it is shown each time works, but is it supposed to work that way?

Moving the flags like in this patch fixes it. I'd just like to confirm that
this is the right fix.

I'll apply this patch for the time being, but I'll leave this bug open for the time being so that the issue isn't lost.

SVN commit 754582 by jstubbs:

Move the setting of window hints to just before the window is shown as the
hints are reset after the window is hidden.

This is rather a feature. Your change is a right fix, at least for now. Especially given that the current dashboard support is a hack and should get proper KWin support after 4.0.
