I've got kickger w/ autohide option when cursor is in screen botton and so the placement is screen bottom (* kicker configuation panel dialog, first page *). Under some conditions it stops showing (doesn't popup when in the screen bottom or bottom corners) / hiding (it popups on Alt-F1 with menu but doesn't hide after cursor is out or even auther window is activated, but still overlaps with desctop space as for autohiding kicker).

When such thing happens i can see kcker placement has changed in its config (see (* *)). dialg to bottom-left for some reason. Changing it back to bottom fixes it
