Description Evert Vorster 2011-01-21 09:33:00 UTC 
Version:           4.3.2 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

When putting in a new user, I get this rather annoying visual artifact. The first time the user logs in, all looks OK. Once the user logs out and back in, a shadow appears as if there should be a window. No applications are running. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Log in with a new user. 
Log out, then in again. 

Actual Results:  
Mystery shadow appears....

Expected Results:  
Nice clean desktop area.

userid is 1024
Does not happen to other users on the same system.
