           Summary: The Reminder Dialog Box of Kontact returns to where it
                    originally was even after it was moved to a different
                    location
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.4.10
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: reminder daemon (korgac)
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sayeed.ka at gmail.com


Version:           4.4.10 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

1. The Reminder dialog box remains fixed to a location on the screen.

2. When an attempt is made to drag it to a different location using the mouse
it moves but on releasing the mouse button, it goes back to its original
location. This box does not move to the background when the mouse is clicked on
another application window.

3. Furthermore, the dialog box which is empty and does not contain any
reminders about any events (Calendar or To-Do).

4. Sometimes, it lists the reminders a long time after the Kontact application
has been started.

5. When an attempt is made to shut the Remined Box another box is displayed
with the heading "Metacity". this box reports the following:

5.1. "Reminders – KOrganizer Reminder Daemon is not responding. You may choose
to wait a short while for it to continue or force the application to quit
entirely"

6. On clicking the mouse on the "Force Quit" button, the Reminder Box
disappears.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that there are some reminders.

2. Shut down system and restart.

3. Start the Kontact application

4. If there are some reminders, the Reminder box (KOrganizer Reminder Daemon)
will be displayed at the top left hand area of the screen (note that the
Reminder box is usually blank without any reminders being displayed)

5. Now try to move it to a different location by dragging it with the mouse.

6. It jumps back to to where it originally was.

7. NOTE:

7.1. This problem does not happen when the Kontact application is first
installed on the computer system. It seems to develop after some use

Actual Results:  
1. The above steps were followed and the events described in the details box
happen as described.

Expected Results:  
1. The Reminder box should be movable to any point on the screed.

2. It should display all the reminders that are pending.
