Description Alessandro 2008-06-10 23:38:39 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I log on my KDE4 desktop the windows don't have the title bar, they are in the top left corner of the screen, they can't be resized or moved.

The pager shows only 1 desktop and the number of desktops can't be changed.

But sometimes it can happen that kde4 starts regularly without any problem, it's casual.

If I delete the /home/<user name>/.kde4 folder kde4 starts normally but of course without my settings.

There is a ubuntu forums thread about this bug http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792446 .

Cannot confirm, could this be a distro thing? r818997 (4.00.81)
