           Summary: Dashboard doesn't show at screen edge, usually
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: udippel at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Since upgrade 4.3.5 to 4.4.X, the dashboard doesn't come up any longer at top
screen edge. Definitively not when a fullscreen window is above the desktop. At
mouse over of the top edge, it flickers, and in the background something
happens, but in almost all cases the screen returns to fullscreen whatever the
mouse moves to. It does work on an 'empty' desktop, and mouse over the edge
toggles between desktop and dashboard in that case. To me this is pretty much
of a showstopper, since this is actually what I want to use the edge function
for: to reach the dashboard.

I have as well associated the right edge with Dashboard and the top edge with
some other widget, and then the function Dashboard doesn't work on the right
edge, while top edge is fine.
Meaning, the applet Dashboard does not get activated by an edge process when a
full screen is covering the desktop.
