I have a single monitor and I have seen this before too.  Usually if I 
use the keyboard to switch between desktops, it will usually pop up.  I 
have had to go to a console, restart xdm, then login again.  After that 
, it works.

I thought this was just me so I didn't mention this before.  Now this 
makes me wonder.  Is this KDE, video drivers or something else?
