Description Christopher Smith 2003-04-08 07:38:33 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 
OS:          Linux

I use soft desktop borders that switch with a delay of 0ms.  Whenever I set the system clock back (mine tends to drift forward), border switching stops working until the clock gets back to where it was.  Key switching and the pager continue to work properly.  (Possibly a bug in the switch-delay routine?)

I cannot reproduce the problem either with KDE3.1 or later. Switching time 5 minutes back or 
forward doesn't affect the active borders. Even after inspection of the code I don't see 
anything that could cause this behaviour.

Could people who can reproduce this bug please read 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=106511153216993&w=2 and so as it says? The 
rule about sending the result directly to me applies too, just please include the bugreport 
number in the mail. Also, it doesn't matter what kind of computer you have, the thing that 
matters is that you have this problem. 
The command for compiling should be something like g++ a.cpp -o a.out -I/usr/X11R6/include 
-I/opt/kde3/include -I/opt/qt3/include -L/opt/kde3/lib -L/opt/qt3/lib -lkdecore

Comment 3 Lubos Lunak 2004-02-07 20:36:33 UTC

Could you please try with KDE3.2?

Waiting for a response.
