Hmmm ... that would bug the sh*t out of me - it happens each and every 
WM/DE I log into, including IceWM and Flux.  I just don't know what 
causes it and hence, how to stop it from happening.  How did you resolve 
it?  At this point in time, I am sorely tempted to uninstall KDE4 and 
revert to v.3 - there are missing apps (e.g. ktron, kinfocenter, 
kcontrolcenter, kworldclock, etc.) which I really miss in the Deb/ 
Squeeze install.

Anyway, will test it out by adding a new user and see if I can replicate 
it on a clean /home dir.

Cheers
