My housemate Matt and I are both fans of Noatun and have been confused by this bug. What happens is that sometimes we have to click "show playlist" twice from the Young Hickory interface before the playlist appears. I understand now  what's been happening and how to fix it. 

If the playlist is maximized somewhere (whether I can see it or not), the "Show Playlist" function actually /hides/ the playlist. It has to be selected a second time to actually show it  to you. 

The way it seems like it should work to me is that the the "Show Playlist" function should always try to open the playlist, maximize it, and bring it to the front.. 

If it's already in front of you and you want to hide it, you can use the standard KDE window widgets for that.
