Seems this bug  -  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180672

is also related, no title bar shown, and only way to close is 'file  |  quit'

I don't have the incoming mail problem though.

Definitely KMail and video related. As I'm composing this message, and use the 
mouse to move the (composer) window around, by grabbing the title bar , the 
whole composer window goes all 'wavy' and horizontal lines go up and down.

So, I can see the title bar when composing, but not in the 'parent' window - 
KMail.  What was in the KDE and KMail updates, that could have caused this ??
