Version: 1.4.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux This is another case of bug #103381, which has not been resolved, but I'm unable to "reopen" that bug. The problem is that the OSD is an override-redirect window, and it isn't being raised every time it's shown. Here's a new way to reproduce the bug: 1. Open amarok in, say, kwin, metacity, openbox, etc. Make sure your window manager isn't holding your X session open. 2. Go to the OSD section of the amarok settings, in order to produce the OSD. 3. Run `metacity --replace'. 4. Try to find the OSD. Again, this could theoretically be avoided by the window manager (kwin and openbox successfully do this), but it's by no means an easy task to avoid ever using XRaiseWindow or creating new windows without lowering them afterward. It makes a lot of sense for an app that expects its window to be on top to raise the window itself.
Unfortunately, this bug is too minor to be fixed in 1.4 branch, since developers currently are working on upcoming 2.0 release. Thank you for your report, please come back, if you encounter this or any at all bugs in Amarok 2.0.
Closed as wontfix.
