Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: RedHat RPMs OS: Linux OS: Fedora FC1 using RPMS from kde.org Note: I'm not sure is this is a taskbar problem or a windows manager problem (kwin). Clicking on an item in the taskbar list should, if it's not a program group, max/min the application. It doesn't always work and I need to sometimes click several times. Same thing happens when sometimes when I right click on a taskbar item and then left click on the menu item (like Close). it doesn't work and sometimes get's 'stuck' .. I need to hit escape a few times to clear away the menu before I can go back and right click again. Let me know if any more info is needed.
It looks like when the right click menu gets 'stuck' I can still use the keyboard arrows to go up down and enter to select the window I want. Very annoying thought.
Even more annoying problem that may be related has come up. Alt-TAB get's stuck and the keyboard doesn't work, nor can I click on anything that the icons in the alt-tab window, which doesn't activate the window. I end up having to ssh into my machine from another box and kill kwin. This gives me control of my keyboard back. From there I can Ctrl+Alt+F1 and restart kwin. This works until it locks up again while Alt+Tabbing.
I'm having the same problem over here on two different Fedora Core 1 installations. This ist VERY annoying and I'm thinking about downgrading to KDE 3.1.x...
Maybe this is a QT-related problem? I just have found this discussion thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?th=1c6abd304319eac2
I have similar problems, I work with qt 3.3 / kde 3.2 compiled via konstruct. Is this like http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68508
I don't know. I've applied a patch to qt from Mandrake RPMS and it's fixed (so far anyway) the Alt+Tab lockups. The amount of times that mouse clicks get lost is less now, but it still happens. So there may be a bug in Qt and in KDE. But it's also possible that the patch I used (found in the Mandrake Qt 3.2.3 RPMS as Patch40) is not complete.
Well forget what I said about Alt-Tab being fixed. It just happened again. :-(
