Description Tamás Németh 2010-02-16 13:43:31 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I installed KDE 4.4.0 onto openSUSE 11.2, and removed the .kde4 directory from my homedir. After logging in this blank KDE system, I had to realize that when I choose compiz as window manager, then popup menus of system tray applications are aligned to bottom of the display insted of top of the plasma panel, so they are partly hidden behind the panel, even though the plasma panel is set to always visible.

A similar bug was present in KDE 4.3 too, but it could be worked around by changing the panel's setting to being able to hide by windows and then back to always visible. Now that workaround doesn't work anymore. Can you fix plasma to align these popup menus properly even when using compiz?
