for the last week or so i'm experiencing plasma-desktop getting corrupted  
without any apparent reason: the standard panel disappears, additional  
activities 'create themselves,' and the desktop seems to be in front of  
running applications. app.s show up on alt+tab (task switcher), but are  
invisible behind the desktop. they react to keystrokes, like alt+F4, but  
don't show up. restarting plasma-desktop doesn't help in such situations.  
only deleting everything plasma-related from ~/.kde4/share remedies the  
situation.

Hallelujah!  I thought I was losing my touch/mind.  I just deleted ~/.kde4/share and started all over and it solved my problem(s)  This is on Slackware 13.1 kde 4.4.3.  I tried to tie the changes to a power surge/outage but no indications on other electrical items.  No, it just happens.  Thank you for the fix.


i'm not complaining: using factory such things are to be expected, and i  
have the awesome windows manager to fall back to if things should get  
worse. but i'd like to know if i'm the only one experiencing this, i.e, if  
i have messed up something in my box, or if this happens to others too?
