Description Cédric Bellegarde 2010-09-30 17:02:28 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

When i login the first time (machine startup, with and without autologin), plasma show me an empty transparent plasmoid/window on my desktop. I can click inside this window to show desktop menu.

Logout/login again fix issue.

Removing plasma*rc fix issue for some times and after, bug come back.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Same problem here.  Mine appears in the top left corner of my screen.  The geometry of the window is 1280x720.

Same with Kde 4.5.3...

It's really a bad bug, can't deploy Kde 4.5 ... :(

Seems to be cause by kwin shadow effect on some plasma window... :(
