Description Steffen Kaiser 2004-06-03 08:30:20 UTC

Version:           1.1 (using KDE 3.2.2,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5

When the KTimeMon (System Monitor) Configuration dialogue is open or an application to start by it generates output, which is then displayed in a dialogue box as well -- e.g. because of the problem
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=241283
what caused plenty of warning boxes once I configured the monitor to start "ksysguard" on click -- you cannot select any item on the panel, neither start anything nor switch desktops or windows. The cursor is changing its shape though.

Maybe this is behaviour be design, but is absolute annoying. I did not found this blocking of the kicker by other dialogue boxes.

Maybe required: This is the KDE shipped with Debian/sarge at 2004-06-03.
