Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-05-30 15:31:07 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405688

When leaving a session logged in across the new year, windows that are created anytime in the new year are placed behind windows created in the old year.  i.e. if a Konsole session has been open since 2006, any new apps started from the Quick Launch Bar or K menu in 2007 will be spawned behind the active konsole window.  Best guess is that KDE uses a "seconds since 01-Jan" method of calculating which windows are newest to determine the order in which they should appear on the desktop.  This should likely be referenced to UTC time instead.

That seems rather unlikely, there shouldn't be any date/time stored relatively to the current year, it's probably only the long time the session was active. Please try to reproduce the problem using the most recent KDE version.

Waiting for a response.
