[kde-linux] panel autohide stopped working

[Jonathan Kaye]

Hi all,
I'm running Debian Lenny (2.6.26-1) with a KDE desktop using Kicker
4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5. After a recent upgrade (AFAIK not directly related to
KDE) my favourite KDE feature, the Kicker autohide) suddenly stopped
working. I have repeatedly used the Config Panel applet to set Hide
automatically (after 3 sec) but I can remove my cursor for 2 hours and the
panel is still not hidden. Any hints about how to fix this or at least a
way to diagnose the problem?

Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Jonathan
