           Summary: Plasma widget handles are not visible. It seems the
                    widgets are locked but the userinterface doesn't reflect
                    that.
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org

Version:           svn checkout of kdebase revision Revision: 822351 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2) None
OS:                Linux

Since a few weeks now I'm not able to move or resize any widget. When I hover or click a widget, the handle does not show.
It seems that the widgets are locked. Yet, when I right click on the desktop, the popup menu doesn't show that the widgets are locked.

So, I click "lock widgets" in the popup menu, and sure, the plasma logo on the right side of the taskbar disappears. The widgets are now locked. Hovering a widget does not show the widget handle.

Thus I right click again on the desktop and choose "unlock widgets" from the popup menu. The plasma logo appears again on the right side of the taskbar. But hovering a widget does not show its handle.

I've experienced this with recent checkouts from SVN on two computers.
Before compiling a new version I've deleted everything from the previous build -> all build directories, the installation directory and the .kde4 (kdehome) directory.

The revision I'm now using and that I'm experiencing this problem with is kdebase revision 822351


What I would like to see now is a confirmation that I'm not the only one with this problem.
If I am the only one seeing this problem, then I would like to know how to solve it.

Thanks.
