In my case, the launcher doesn't appear at all, even when I switch desktop. Didn't work in KDE 4.6.x, still doesn't work in KDE 4.7.

I reported bug #278843, that has been marked as a duplicate of this. I had no issue using this feature up to 4.6.5. The problem appeared when upgrading to 4.7
I might have been wrong with that, for me it looked like the same. Nevertheless it should be fixed with the patch for this one.
