4.0.5, I think.  I need some detail, Kishore.  I tried to dump the config 
files but found them recreated exactly the same, so I think I missed a step.

First - what must I do to ensure that plasma is stopped?  Then, am I looking 
for any more config files than the two in ~/.kde4/share/config ?

Not much, but definitely better than nothing.  Until I get this sorted I can 
use windows that don't cover it, but it's definitely a temporary workaround.
