Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) OS: Linux In RC1 release appeared a graphical rendering failiure which makes kickoff unusable. It can be opened and closed from the panel, but it does not respond to any action inside the applet, neither clicking on places where usually are buttons. This happens with nvidia graphics using proprietary drivers. Reproducible: Always

[Comment from a bug triager] - Does enabling/disabling desktop effects/compositing change something ? - If you resize the menu (dragging from the corner) does the issue dissapear ? Regards
Same problem. Nvidia too. > it does not respond to any action inside the applet It responds in my case. Just clicked at random place and dolphin started. > - Does enabling/disabling desktop effects/compositing change something ? no > - If you resize the menu (dragging from the corner) does the issue dissapear ? no However, this seems to happen only when kickoff is in the panel. If you drag it to desktop - everything fine.
[Comment from a bug triager] - Which NVidia driver version do you have ? - Could you temporary switch to another driver just to test if this bug appears or not ? Thanks
I tested the proprietary drivers (260.19.29 - latest stable), the nouveau module (included in kernel 2.6.36.2) and the nv driver (2.1.18) and I can confirm the bug to appear on all drivers, with the very same behavior as described above. Additionally, my statement about the applet not responding to any clicking is false, I must have missed all icons when I was testing it the first time.
i'm getting this as well, with ati drivers, but i don't think drivers have anything to do with it. i do see the first line of kickoff, the username and the branding button, so the widget gets correctly created and inserted in the layout, just some sub widgets don't paint. (btw it is not a proxy widget here, just qwidgets) if it is inserted in the desktop(so becomes a proxywidget) everything gets painted correctly
SVN commit 1209457 by mart: apparently if the main kickoff widget is translucentBackground as well, rendering works well again (reopen if the bug appears again) BUG:261220 M +1 -0 launcher.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1209457
