works here. this sounds like a bug in qt (try upgrading that) or - less likely - the x server (obviously not the driver this time). bah, nonsense - i confused the note about the drivers with another report. in fact, this problem looks pretty much like it would be caused by the nvidia driver. try the nv driver to verify it. I've actually upgraded the machines GPU and RAM, and went ahead an installed the x86_64 version of FC12. I'm now running the new official KDE 4.4 release version, the latest version of xorg, qt, and the latest proprietary Nvidia driver. This new installation has the same problem, but I've discovered (yesterday actually) that it is related to running glx-dock(openGL version of cairo-dock). When glx-dock is started I begin having the problems. If I kill glx-dock and all its related processes the problem doesn't go away. I have to do a restart to "fix" the problem. For now, I'm using the regular cairo-dock without openGL, until I search out the root cause of this. As for the NV driver, I spent several hours at work yesterday, try to fix problems related to it on a RHEL5 Workstation, before just switching to the proprietary Nvidia driver. For now I'll stick with Nvidia's driver, but I appreciate the suggestion, and It may be worth trying for troubleshooting purposes. I'll have to file a bug report with the cairo-dock people, in French. The good thing about this bug is that I can now attribute it to gnome-centric, gtk+ stuff, so I don't have to change my pro-KDE/anti-Gnome world view ;) had any success with re-trying the nv driver? I also used to have this problem. It appears to be fixed in the latest cairo-dock (2.3) I'm running a git (well bzr) version, but I think there's a Beta out too.

Closing WORKSFORME then. Please reopen if this isn't true. |
