Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I like to use the panel in auto-hide mode, so that it only comes up again when I touch the bottom of the screen with the mouse pointer. However, for all KDE-versions ever used for Kubuntu 6.06 (including the newest KDE 3.55), sometimes (maybe 2x a month) the panel would refuse to come up again, leaving me without a possibility to access any open windows nor the K-menu. I can temporarily fix this by opening a konqueror window from a desktop icon and selecting KDE System Settings from there, opening the Desktop settings, changing something in the panel settings and undoing the change immediately and finally pressing Apply, then the panel is accessible again. I am using the following panel settings: - hide automatically (immediately) - raise when the pointer touches the screen's bottom edge panel animation is disabled, as well as the showing of any panel hiding buttons or any other fancy stuff Unfortunately, this behaviour is not really reproducibly, however it haunts me since the first edition of Kubuntu 6.06 (and I've updated KDE everytime an updated version became available).
oh, I don't know if that's relevant, but I'm using the Icelandic localization
I get this bug too, using Gentoo on amd64. Some system info: KDE 3.5.5 gcc 4.1.1 glibc 2.4 Xorg-X11 7.1 Peripherals: Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard; Evoluent Vertical Mouse (uses Intellimouse drivers), and Wacom Graphire4 tablet (USB). If there's anything that I can do to help, please email me! (jmtuley@indiana.edu) -- John
Same thing here, but I fix it by killing and then running kicker again. Then I change a setting, hit apply, then hit "OK", and kicker runs fine until it happens again. This happens to me between every other day and twice a day. Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce it, and nothing appears to log any messages about it.

Still present as of KDE 3.5.7, though much less frequent.
Yep, same here! And this is a long time there allready! (more than one year allready!) (when this happens i don't kill anything - i hit ALT + F1 and change settings in Hiding window...) I'm using debian/unstable in KDE 3.5.8 - problem is still here... :(
it's a problem with inner event loops being started and not exited. i removed a few of these problems in kicker during the kde3 series, but there is still at least one or two left (there's one in the clock's calendar, for instance). i have little hope of getting them all hammered out at this point as i'm focused on kde4 right now and the problem really comes from issues with the design of kicker itself that prompts the use of inner event loops =/
